As the "Tian Ying Zuo" slowly sailed away from the single-point mooring of at the Wushi Terminal in Leizhou, the first crude oil export operation of the Wushi 23-5 oilfield was successfully completed. This moment not only marks a historic breakthrough in the export of "Zhanjiang-produced" crude oil, but also an important milestone in China's offshore oil development entering a new era of green, efficient and safe development.
Pioneer in green design
As China's first offshore all-round green design oilfield project, the Wu Shi 23-5 oilfield's commissioning marks a new step forward in China's offshore oil development. In this process, as one of the key oil transportation equipment, CDSR oil hoses not only bear the important task of connecting the single point mooring system and shuttle tankers, but also are a practitioner of green environmental protection concepts.
Stable and efficient oil transportation performance
In this crude oil export mission, the CDSR oil hoses demonstrated their excellent oil transportation efficiency. During the 24-hour oil lifting operation, the oil transfer operation took only 7.5 hours. This efficient operation time was due to the close cooperation and careful planning between COSCO SHIPPING Energy and the maritime department, as well as the advanced design and excellent quality of the CDSR oil hoses. The excellent performance of the hoses enables them to maintain a stable working state amidst changes in waves and tides, ensuring the continuity and safety of crude oil transportation.
Reliable performance in harsh sea conditions
The complex and changeable marine environment places extremely high demands on oil transportation equipment. The CDSR oil hoses can still maintain good performance under harsh sea conditions without any leakage or damage accidents. This reliability not only ensures the safety of crude oil transportation, but also greatly reduces maintenance and management costs, which provides a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of offshore oil fields.
Double guarantee of environmental protection and efficiency
The use of CDSR oil hose not only significantly improves the oil transfer efficiency, but also plays an important role in environmental protection. The stable performance of the hose effectively prevents marine environmental pollution and reflects the original intention of green design. During the operation, the operator and the maritime department adopted a combination of static and dynamic supervision to monitor the operation throughout the process, ensuring the safety of navigation and operation, and preventing marine environmental pollution. This dual guarantee mechanism not only ensures the efficiency and safety of the oil transportation process, but also reflects the commitment to protecting the marine environment.
The successful application of CDSR oil hose not only demonstrates China's innovation capabilities in offshore oil field development and crude oil export technology, but also provides valuable experience and reference for the implementation of similar projects in the future. With the continued operation of Wushi 23-5 oilfield, CDSR oil hose will continue to play its advantages of stability, efficiency and safety, and make greater contributions to local energy security and economic development.
