Fossil Energy – Discovery

China’s state-run China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) has made a major exploration breakthrough in ultra-shallow gas play in ultra-deep water South China Sea.

Lingshui 36-1 gas field is located in western South China Sea, with an average water depth of approximately 1,500 meters.

The main gas-bearing play is the Ledong Formation of Quaternary, with an average burial depth of 210 meters.

The field has been tested to produce over 10 million cubic meters per day of open flow natural gas.
