According to CNOOC Engineering, a 30,000-ton jacket launching barge, developed by the company, has officially been delivered in Qingdao. As the largest barge of its kind in Asia and the third globally, this vessel is set to play a crucial role in the upcoming launch of the Panyu 30-1 gas field jacket in early March. This development marks a significant milestone for the Panyu 30-1 project, showcasing CNOOC's growing capabilities in deepwater offshore operations. The specialized barge measures 235 meters in length, 52.5 meters in width, and 14.25 meters in depth, with a maximum load capacity of 60,000 tons. Designed as a deck barge without crew or propulsion, it is tailored for offshore oil projects in the South China Sea. It can transport large structures such as jackets, modules, TLPs, and SPARs in both domestic and international deep-sea environments. CNOOC Engineering signed the contract for the construction of this vessel with CSIC Heavy Industry’s Qingdao Beichuan branch in March 2007, and it was completed in just over 10 months. Jiang Xiyu, president of CNOOC Engineering, emphasized that the barge is a key step in the company's strategy to enhance its fleet and expand into deepwater projects. The vessel significantly improves the transportation of offshore structures and strengthens CNOOC's position in the global energy market. Jin Xiaojian, general manager of the Engineering Construction Department at CNOOC, highlighted that the timely delivery of the barge ensures the smooth progress of the Panyu 30-1 gas field project. Located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin in the South China Sea, the Panyu 30-1 gas field is part of the larger Panyu/Huizhou joint natural gas development initiative. In June 2006, some parts of the underwater structure of the jacket were damaged during installation, leading to a decision to rework the entire structure. This project further demonstrates CNOOC's commitment to quality and innovation in offshore engineering.
