Location and Geology
The Weizhou 12-2 oil field is situated in the Beibu Gulf, which is part of the South China Sea. The field is located in a region with average water depths of approximately 35.7 meters (117 feet).
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
The Weizhou 12-2 oil field is part of a broader area of oil and gas activities in the Beibu Gulf, which includes other fields such as the Weizhou 6-12 and Weizhou 12-8 West fields. These fields are also operated by CNOOC and contribute to the overall oil and gas production in the region.
