During the Spring Festival, China's first self-operated ultra-deepwater gas field, the first underwater gas well of the second phase of the Shenhai No. 1 project, is entering a critical period of operation. The Offshore Oil 982 deepwater drilling platform is controlling the drill bit to advance to a depth of 5,000 meters. .

Shenhai No. 1 is China's first 100 billion cubic meter ultra-deepwater gas field independently explored and developed, with an annual gas production of 3 billion cubic meters. The first phase will be officially put into production in June 2021, and the second phase will officially start construction in the near future. With the exploration and development of the second phase, the natural gas reserves of Shenhai No. 1 will increase from 100 billion cubic meters to 150 billion cubic meters.Editor/Ma Xue
