“Despite unprecedented challenges and difficulties caused by the Covid-19 situation, our teams from China, Singapore, and Norway worked together to achieve delivery punctuality and continuous responsive service, which was highly recognised by the CNOOC project team.

“Based on the trust gained and many years of excellent cooperation, we are proud to again have the opportunity to support CNOOC’s gas field development, and make our contribution to the Liuhua 11-1/4-1 project.”

The offloading systemswill have the capacity to store either a 16-inch catenary hose, or a 16-inch floating hose to enable flexibility for shuttle tanker selection.

Last year, the CNOOC started production from the Lingshui 17-2 gas field, which is estimated to hold natural gas reserves of more than 100 billion cubic meters.
