The project is expected to reach peak production of 13,600 barrels of oil equivalent per day during 2025, with the oil property consisting of medium and heavy crude.

The project’s unmanned wellhead platform has a typhoon production mode and a heavy oil intelligent processing system, designed to enhance production safety and operational efficiency.

The new wellhead platform is linked to the existing Panyu 10-2 platform via a trestle bridge, allowing shared facilities and equipment that reduce development costs.

Since its inception in 2003, the Panyu oilfield has produced more than 380 million barrels of crude oil and evolved into an intelligent oilfield cluster with digital, intelligent and unmanned operations.
