On June 6, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) announced a major breakthrough in the exploration of ultra-deepwater ultra-shallow gas layers in the western South China Sea.
According to reports, the Lingshui 36-1 gas field is located in the western South China Sea, with an average water depth of about 1,500 meters. The main gas-bearing formation is the Quaternary Ledong Group reservoir, with an average gas layer burial depth of 210 meters. The exploration well test showed an unobstructed natural gas flow exceeding 10 million cubic meters per day.
