CNOOC Limited announces that the Liuhua 11-1/4-1 Oilfield Secondary Development Project has commenced production.
The project is located in eastern South China Sea and consists of 2 oilfields, Liuhua 11-1 and Liuhua 4-1, with an average water depth of approximately 305 metres. The main production facilities include a new deepwater jacket platform ‘Haiji-2’ and a cylindrical FPSO ‘Haikui-1’.
A total of 32 development wells are to be commissioned. The project is expected to achieve a peak production of approximately 17 900 boe/d in 2026. The oil property is heavy crude.
Mr. Zhou Xinhuai, CEO and President of the Company, said, "It is the first oilfield in Asia to be developed with the 'Deepwater Jacket Platform + Cylindrical FPSO' mode. The Company has overcome various technological challenges to complete the project. While revitalising the deepwater oilfields with original oil in place over 100 million tons, the new mode has substantially reduced the construction and production costs. It provides a Chinese solution for the efficient development of similar deepwater oil and gas fields."
CNOOC Limited holds 100% interest in this project and is the operator.

In the oil and gas sector, the management of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is a perpetual balancing act. For years, MEA-triazine has been the industry workhorse – efficient, cost-effective, and generally well-understood. However, as operators push for greater efficiency and contend with varying production environments, the chemical landscape has shifted. The reliance on standard MEA-triazine has evolved into a more complex mix of chemistries, including methylamine (MMA-triazine) and monoisopropanolamine (MBO) formulations.
