In early April, CNOOC Guanlan, China's first deep-sea floating wind power platform, met its yearly phase goal of generating 22 million kilowatt-hours of electricity ahead of schedule.
Since connecting to the power grid on May 20, 2023, CNOOC Guanlan has continuously supplied green power to 13 offshore oil and gas production facilities in the Wenchang oil field. The platform will save nearly 10 million cubic meters of natural gas and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 22,000 tons per year.
The Wenchang oil field has now established a new integrated power supply model of "wind power + gas power + smart grid," providing a new path for the fusion of oil and gas exploration and development with new energy.
