HONG KONG, Feb. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CNOOC Limited (the "Company", SEHK: 00883 (HKD Counter) and 80883 (RMB Counter), SSE: 600938) announces today that Suizhong 36-1/Luda 5-2 Oilfield Secondary Adjustment and Development Project has commenced production.

The project is located in Liaodong Bay of Bohai Sea, with an average water depth of approximately 30 meters. The main production facilities include 2 new central processing platforms and 2 new wellhead platforms. 118 development wells are planned, including 81 production wells and 37 water-injection wells. The project is expected to achieve a peak production of approximately 30,300 barrels of crude oil per day in 2025.
