By GlobalDataLast month, CNOOC started production from the Penglai 19-3 oilfield area 4 adjustment / Penglai 19-9 oilfield phase II project located offshore China.
This April, CNOOC lowered its planned capital expenditure (Capex) and production guidance for 2020. It said the move will strengthen it to face the Covid-19 pandemic.
In March, CNOOC made a Kenli 6-1 discovery in Bohai Bay, which the company believes is the first large-sized oil field in the Laibei lower uplift. This is in the southern area of the Bohai basin.
In March 2015, oil production started at the Qinhuangdao 32-6 comprehensive adjustment project in China.
