Group 1: Base Overview - The Hainan base is a joint construction by the Ministry of Emergency Management, Hainan Provincial Government, and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), covering an area of over 11,000 square meters [3]. - The base is equipped with China's first independently developed 3,000-meter underwater emergency well sealing device and an underwater oil recovery system, enabling rapid well sealing and efficient oil recovery [3]. Group 2: Response Time Improvement - Prior to the establishment of the Hainan base, domestic deep-water oil and gas well control emergency rescue relied heavily on foreign assistance, with an average response time of about 30 days from the nearest foreign emergency base [4]. - With the Hainan base operational, domestic emergency response teams can now reach relevant sea areas in the southern part of China within 48 hours [4]. Group 3: Future Development - The Hainan base aims to enhance offshore emergency rescue capabilities and continuously improve a multi-functional emergency rescue system, integrating deeply into the risk prevention framework of the Hainan Free Trade Port [4]. - The base will provide critical support for the development of the national marine economy and ecological protection [4].
