Project Phases and Development

The project has undergone multiple phases of development:

  • Phase II: This phase commenced production in late 2017. The development involved the construction of a wellhead platform linked to existing facilities on the Weizhou 12-2 oil field. Seven wells are currently in service, producing around 6,400 barrels per day (b/d). Peak production for this phase is expected to reach around 11,800 b/d.

Operator and Partners

The Weizhou 12-2 oil field is operated by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC Ltd.). While specific details on other partners for this particular field are not provided in the sources, CNOOC is the primary operator for the project.

Infrastructure and Facilities

  • Wellhead Platform: The Phase II development included the construction of a wellhead platform. This platform is connected to the existing facilities on the Weizhou 12-2 oil field.
  • Wells: Seven wells are currently in operation as part of the Phase II project. These wells contribute to the field's production capacity.

Production

  • Current Production: The field produces around 6,400 b/d as of the commencement of Phase II production.
  • Peak Production: The project is expected to achieve a peak production of approximately 11,800 b/d.

Historical Context

Production from the Weizhou 12-2 oil field Phase II project began in late 2017, marking a significant milestone in the field's development. This phase built upon existing infrastructure and expanded the field's production capabilities.

Regional Context
