Group 1: Project Overview - The Liuhua 11-1/4-1 oilfield project, located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, consists of two oilfields with an average water depth of approximately 305 meters and plans to produce from 32 production wells [4]. - As of now, 27 production wells have been put into operation, with a daily crude oil production steadily increasing to 3,400 tons, which is 1.25 times the designed peak daily production [4]. Group 2: Technical Achievements - The Liuhua 11-1 oilfield, China's first deep-water oilfield, has produced over 20 million tons of crude oil since its launch in 1996, with a current recovery rate of only 12.84%, indicating significant untapped reserves of approximately 140 million tons [4][5]. - CNOOC has developed a series of water control and oil stabilization technologies over ten years, leading to significant improvements in recoverable reserves and recovery rates, extending the field's lifespan by 30 years [5]. Group 3: Production Efficiency - The current production wells in the Liuhua 11-1/4-1 oilfield have a daily liquid production rate of only 37.4% of the design value, with a comprehensive water cut reduced by 22% compared to the design, while crude oil production exceeds expectations [5]. - The operational success of the project validates the reliability of the water control and oil stabilization technology and the economic effectiveness of the "deep-water jacket platform + cylindrical FPSO" development model, contributing a "Chinese solution" for the efficient development of similar deep-water oil and gas fields [5].
