HONG KONG – CNOOC has brought onstream the offshore Lufeng (LF) 13-2 adjustment project.

The development is in Pearl River Mouth basin, in average water depths of 132 m (433 ft). Facilities and production operations are linked to the existing LF 13-2 wellhead platform and the LF 13-1 platform.

Presently three wells are online with another five to follow. Production should build to a peak of around 33,000 b/d during the second half of 2012.

Chen Bi, CNOOC’s executive vice president, said: “The successful start-up of LF 13-2 adjustment project enables the adjacent fields to share the production facilities, which will reduce the production cost, and improve the economic return of relevant fields.”

CNOOC has a 100% operating interest.
