China's Bohai Bay Gets Subsea Solution for Stranded Oil Reserves
The Bohai oilfield in China's Bohai Bay is one of the largest crude oil production bases, producing over 265 million barrels annually.
However, the shallow water depth of only 60 feet makes it difficult to use conventional jacket platforms, leading to stranded reserves.
A novel subsea production system has been developed to address these challenges and unlock the potential of the Bohai oilfield.
The system features a subsea wellhead design that allows for efficient deployment in shallow water depths.
