On August 15, Asia's first deepwater jacket platform "Haiji No. 2" and Asia's first cylindrical "offshore oil and gas processing plant" "Haikei No. 1" successfully achieved mobile 5G network communication coverage, providing strong support for the digital and intelligent development of deepwater oil and gas fields.
The two new facilities, "Haikei-1" and "Haiji-2", achieve full coverage of 5G networks.
"Haiji-2" and "Haikui-1" are in service in my country's first deepwater oilfield, Liuhua 11-1 Oilfield, located in the eastern waters of the South China Sea, about 240 kilometers southeast of Shenzhen and at a water depth of about 324 meters. With the full coverage of 5G networks, Liuhua Oilfield has become the oilfield group with the longest offshore distance among the 5G network units in the eastern South China Sea, achieving a new breakthrough in deep-sea communication technology.
This 5G network construction project uses the new generation of communication technology and advanced microwave link transmission technology, which is stable, reliable and safe. The "Haiji No. 2" platform is the first station for signal reception, and establishes a transmission connection with the land by setting up a microwave station. The project team worked closely together and completed a series of work such as equipment installation, commissioning, and commissioning in just 10 days, promoting the 5G network to "cross the ocean" and allowing the Liuhua Oilfield offshore facilities to achieve 5G network signal coverage for the first time.
Currently, the two new facilities, Haikui No. 1 and Haiji No. 2, are in the commissioning stage before they are put into operation. Offshore commissioning personnel use 5G networks to communicate and exchange technical information with onshore engineers and experts in real time, quickly solving technical problems and improving the efficiency and quality of commissioning work for new facilities.
The 5G network also provides a more stable communication guarantee for the stable operation of the typhoon production mode. Relying on the 5G network, Liuhua Oilfield will also explore the application of digital tools such as intelligent diagnosis of key equipment, artificial intelligence assistance, and intelligent safety management, and strive to achieve remote real-time emergency video command in safety management, and realize a series of new functions such as offshore drilling data return and real-time cloud collection of production and operation data in oilfield development, to promote the intelligent upgrade of the entire chain of deepwater oil and gas exploration and development.
Debugging personnel install 5G network equipment on an offshore oil platform.
CNOOC Shenzhen Branch attaches great importance to improving the quality of work and life of employees at sea, and continues to explore the leapfrog iteration of marine communication technology. Pan Guobang, the chief operator of the "Haiji No. 2" machine, said: "More than ten years ago, it was unimaginable to go online at sea, and satellite phones were the only way to contact family members. Now, we have entered the 5G era, and employees can make high-definition video calls with their families on land after get off work, describe their work and life, and feel the warmth of home and relatives."
In recent years, under the background of green and low-carbon transformation, the East South China Sea oilfield has also accelerated the pace of digital transformation and upgrading. By creating a production and living environment that integrates multiple technologies such as satellites, microwaves and 5G, my country's first offshore oil and gas production command center has been built, forming a new model of intelligent production and operation with digital and intelligent integration, unmanned operation and less manpower, and realizing the transition of oil and gas fields from traditional models to "offshore smart factories" with comprehensive perception and scientific decision-making.
