BEIJING, June 20 (Xinhua) -- China's first independent-developed deep-water gas field, the Lingshui 17-2 gas field in the South China Sea, officially entered development and construction stage, according to China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).
This shows that China has mastered the design, construction and installation of semi-submersible production platforms that are suitable for the deep sea complex waters of the South China Sea.
The Lingshui 17-2 gas field was discovered in 2014. As an ultra-deep water gas field, its average operating depth is 1,500 meters. (Edited by Niu Huizhe, niuhuzhe@xinhua.org)
