CNOOC: Kenli 3-2 in production

CNOOC Ltd began production at its 100%-owned Kenli 3-2 oilfields, the company announced on 12 May 2014.

The Kenli 3-2 oilfields, located in the southern Bohai Sea at an average water depth of 20m, consists of Kenli 3-2, Bozhong 34-6/7, southern part of Bozhong 29-4 and Bozhong 35-2 oilfields. The primary production facilities include seven offshore platforms and one onshore oil processing terminal. Peak production is expected to hit 35,000b/d.

In March, CNOOC announced a natural gas discovery in the nearby Bozhong 22-1 structure in south central Bohai. Gas production of the well was tested around 14.2MMcf/d, which the company said demonstrates the good prospects of buried hills for future gas exploration of south slope in Bozhong Sag.

The Kenli 3-2 is not the only field CNOOC has brought into production this year. The company announced that the Liuhua 19-5 gas field, located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin of the South China Sea, achieved first production in mid-January. The gas field is expected to hit its peak production of 29MMcf/d sometime in 2014.
