China's state-owned oil and gas firm China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) has brought online the Kenli 10-2 oil field (Phase I), the largest shallow lithological oil field offshore China.
The project is located in southern Bohai Sea, with an average water depth of about 20 meters.
The main production facilities include a new central platform and two wellhead platforms, which leverages the adjacent existing facilities for development.
According to CNOOC, 79 development wells are planned to be commissioned, including 33 cold recovery wells, 24 thermal recovery wells, 21 water injection wells and one water source well.
The project is expected to achieve a peak production of approximately 19,400 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2026. The oil property is heavy crude.
Kenli 10-2 oil field is the first lithological oilfield with proven in-place volume of 100 million tons discovered in the shallow depression zone of the Bohai Bay Basin.
It is being developed in two phases. CNOOC has adopted an innovative combined development approach of ‘conventional water injection combined with steam huff and puff and steam flooding’, providing strong technical support for the efficient utilization of oil reserves.
