A historic milestone is reached China self developed Gas and condensate production platform will be operational this Friday
That is why it is so important for China to declare China's sovereignty in SCs. Beside acting as defense buffer zone It is also producer of much needed oil and gas to the most important industrial hub of China, providing gas to quarter of Greater bay area
The station will start operation in Lingshui 17-2, a major deep-water gas field, with an annual supply of 3 billion cubic meters of gas to Guangdong, Hong Kong, Hainan and other regions. This will meet a quarter of the annual residential gas consumption in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The nearly 40-storey-tall station arrived at its destination on Feb 6 after traveling some 1,600 nautical miles from east China's Shandong Province.
The world's first 100,000-tonne semi-submersible oil and gas production and storage platform will start operation in waters of south China's Hainan Province on Friday. The energy station, named "Deep Sea No.1," was independently developed and built by China. All preparation work has been done to ensure a smooth start, according to Tang Guangrong, chief commander of the production work. The platform carries nearly 200 sets of key oil and gas processing facilities, and has a maximum oil storage capacity of nearly 20,000 cubic meters. With the fatigue life designed to be 150 years and more, the Shenhai-1 platform is able to withstand a once-in-a-century typhoon.

I am really at awe watching China progress in oil and gas industry literally starting from ground zero with first oil well founded in 1937 in Yumen Gansu
Weng Wenhao, the First Geologist to Survey YumenBased on their findings, they wrote China’s first petroleum geology report. In 1928, the Gansu government sent the geologist Zhang Renjian 张人鉴 to Yumen to investigate oil, and he submitted a detailed proposal to build an oil-field and refinery.
Yumen Oilfield, 19393 Geologist Sun Jianchu Thrice Investigates Yumen In the 1930s, a geologist from the Central Geological Survey, Sun Jianchu 孙健初 and his group went to Yumen three times to investigate oil, the first time in 1934 and 1935. He and Zhou Zongjun and others traveled to the mountainous region in the western part of Gansu and the northeastern part of Qinghai, but due to unrest, they could not penetrate it deeply. The second time was in June 1937, when the preparatory office of the China Kerosene Exploration Company organized an expedition to the northwest that was led by Shi Youming 史悠明 and geologist Sun Jianchu; they were accompanied by two Americans, the noted geologist Dr. James Marvin Weller and the engineer Dr. Frederic A. Sutton. In October 1937, while traveling westward from Jiuquan, they found oil in Baiyang River 白杨河 in Yumen County and Shiyou River 石油河 in Laojunmiao 老君庙. During their voyage they saw three peasants skimming oil off the Shiyou River by the old temple to Taishang Laojun (the deified Laozi) south of Yumen (from which the name of the place, Laojunmiao, derives).
After a detailed investigation, Weller and his team wrote, in their exploration report In this district development costs will be very high, and if oil prospecting here is to be considered as strictly a business proposition, most careful consideration must be given to all of the factors involved in development, production, refining, and marketing aspects before a decision is made to proceed further. If, on the other hand, the development of an oilfield in the northwest part of China is required for national defense, to be accomplished at any cost, the Shih Yu Ho [Shiyou River] anticline should certainly be drilled.... [E]ven with the utmost dispatch and the best of luck, it is likely that at least two years would be required to drill the first wells and install a small refinery.1On April 18 and 19, 1938, Weller and Sun Jianchu reported twice in Hankou to Weng Wenhao, who was then the Minister of Economic Affairs and the director of Central Geological Survey. Weller’s geological writings fully reflect the scientific spirit of a geologist seeking truth from facts, and he was generous in recognizing the contributions of Chinese geologists, like Sun Jianchu, who had done exploratory work
before him.
