China’s largest offshore oil and gas platform of 17,000 tons is delivered to the customer

The facility is designed to accumulate and transport 24 million tons of oil and 7.4 billion cubic meters of gas per year.
The largest international offshore oil and gas platform weighing 17 thousand tons was officially delivered to the customer on August 12, 2024 after 34 months of construction in Qingdao.
The platform is designed to accumulate oil and gas extracted at sea and transport them to onshore processing plants. The facility is designed for 24 million tons of crude oil and 7.4 billion cubic meters of gas per year.
By the end of August, the platform will be transported to the installation site 6,400 nautical miles off the coast of Saudi Arabia. The use of the platform will make it possible to bring the Marjan field to full production capacity — 24 million tons of oil per year.
The size of the platform (the deck area is equivalent to 15 standard basketball courts, the height of the platform is higher than a 24-storey residential building), the type and complexity of the pipeline system have no analogues among similar international structures.
