CNOOC starts new Baohai field production
Chinese main offshore oil firm CNOOC Ltd said that it started production from its Bozhong (BZ) 28-2S oil field with
4,000 barrels of oil per day via four wells.
BZ28-2S, located in the south of Bohai Bay with a water depth of 21 metres, is the largest field among all the oil
projects expected to come on stream this year offshore China, CNOOC said. The production is expected to ramp up to an
average 25,000 barrels of oil per day by 2011, it added.
BZ28-2S was discovered in 2006 and is an independent field of CNOOC Ltd. CNOOC is the smallest of China's big three
state-owned oil firms and concentrates on offshore exploration and production.
The company said in December that it made a sizeable light crude oil and gas discovery at its Jinzhou 25-1 field in
Bohai Bay.
