The Ocean Oil 981 Deepwater Semi-Submersible Oil Platform (“Ocean Oil 981”) is the first deepwater semi-submersible oil platform (the sixth generation) solely designed and built by China. The construction of the platform commenced on April 28, 2008. Exclusively invested and built by CNOOC, the platform integrates world-class design concepts and equipment. It is the first platform in the world whose design model is based on the rough conditions of the South China Sea, and is able to withstand Super Typhoons. Ocean Oil 981 uses DP3 dynamic positioning system, supports an anchor positioning within 1,500 meters of water depth, and is classified by CCS and ABS. The whole project was executed to cater to CNOOC’s needs and design concepts. CNOOC owns independent intellectual property rights of Ocean Oil 981. The completion of the platform marked China’s newly-developed independent R&D capabilities and international competitiveness in the field of marine engineering equipment.
