Read MoreHide Full Article
CNOOC Limited (CEO - Free Report) announced the commencement of production from the Liuhua 29-2 deepwater gas field in the eastern South China Sea.
The Liuhua 29-2 gas field is situated 300 kilometers southeast of Hong Kong, nearly 750 meters below the water surface. Notably, it is the third deepwater offshore platform development for CNOOC. The state-owned firm is the operator of the field, with a 100% ownership interest.

The Liwan 3-1 gas field is an integral part of the Liwan gas project to which the Liuhua 29-2 field is associated. Located in Block 29/26, it is the first deepwater gas field development in China.

At its peak, the field is expected to churn out 41 million cubic feet of natural gas per day in 2021.
