US oil company ConocoPhillips and China’s CNOOC recently announced the start of the Penglai offshore wind farm pilot project, which aims to harness wind power to power the Penglai oil field. It is China’s largest offshore oil and gas production base under production sharing agreements, located in the Bohai Bay in northeastern China.
ConocoPhillips China President Bill Arnold said: He believes it will become a benchmark for future low-carbon emission offshore oilfield development. ”
Twenty years have passed since Horai achieved its first oil field, which is still in various stages of development as both companies expect a long production life. According to ConocoPhillips, the newly-launched wind farm project provides the best solution to meet the power demand of the Penglai Oilfield, which is expected to increase year by year as development progresses.Bill Arnold of ConocoPhillip presented CNOOC executives with a sandbox model of the Penglai Green Energy Development Project.
special feature 4 wind turbines Total installed capacity 34MWthe wind farm will be connected to an existing central processing platform via submarine cables to distribute energy to the field’s power grid system.
According to ConocoPhillips, at maximum capacity, the wind farm will cover more than 30% of the electricity required to operate the Penglai oil field, with the potential to achieve tens of thousands of tons of CO2 reductions annually.
“CNOOC Limited and ConocoPhillips have maintained a successful partnership in upstream oil and gas for the past 40 years. We are excited to expand the scope of our cooperation to include carbon energy development.
In addition to offshore wind, ConocoPhillips said the companies are closely evaluating power from shore, as well as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) opportunities. . If proven technically and economically viable, these low-carbon energy solutions could turn Penglai into a net-zero offshore oilfield, in line with China’s energy, sustainable development, and carbon-neutral goals. The company says it will help transform towards
