Bohai 26-6 Oilfield Phase II Project: All Jackets in Place, Starting a New Energy Journey

The Bohai 26-6 Oil Field Development Project (Phase II) has achieved a key milestone—all jacket installations have been completed offshore recently, marking a new stage in the expansion of this the world’s largest metamorphic rock oil field. The project adopts a “comprehensive planning and phased implementation” strategy, coordinating drilling, construction, and production through an integrated approach, laying a solid foundation for subsequent offshore block installation, pipeline laying, and platform upgrades.

The project team successfully overcame the impact of harsh winter weather on offshore operations by optimizing construction plans and coordinating major resource allocations. During the jacket construction process, a series of standardized technologies and results were fully applied, significantly improving construction efficiency and material utilization. According to onsite technical personnel, precise control of lowering speed and angle is required during jacket installation. The operations team conducted multiple simulation drills to ensure seamless coordination at each stage.

As an important energy project in the Bohai Sea area, the completion of the Bohai 26-6 Oil Field Phase II will greatly enhance domestic oil and gas self-sufficiency. Its capacity release will not only provide stable clean energy supplies for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the Bohai Rim regions but also drive upgrades in the marine engineering equipment manufacturing, oil and gas technology services, and other upstream and downstream industries. Data shows that the project directly attracts investment of over 10 billion yuan and indirectly creates thousands of jobs.

Currently, the project has fully entered the offshore module lifting and subsea pipeline laying stage. The construction team is using modular construction technology, breaking down large platform structures into multiple standard components, and achieving precise connections through intelligent scheduling systems. According to the project leader, future efforts will focus on overcoming technical bottlenecks in deepwater operations to ensure the annual construction targets are met on schedule.
