Set multiple industry records! How strong is the 'giant' at sea? Get the data!
On the early morning of June 10th, on the work vessel 291, the underwater anchor chain successfully docked with the "Sea Anemone One" traction chain, which means that the last of the 12 anchor chains has been "jointed". At 12:00 on the 10th, the last anchor chain of "Sea Anemone No. 1" was locked and fixed, and settled in Liuhua Oilfield in the Pearl River Mouth Basin. Haikui No.1 "is a high-end marine equipment that integrates functions such as crude oil production, storage, and export, setting multiple records in the construction and installation industry of marine oil and gas equipment.

The total weight is nearly 37000 tons, the height is close to 30 floors, and the main deck area is equivalent to 13 standard basketball courts;
The maximum oil storage capacity is 60000 tons, and it can process 5600 tons of crude oil per day;
Designed for a once-in-100-year super typhoon condition, with a designed lifespan of 30 years, it can operate continuously at sea for 15 years without returning to dock;
Realize the independent application of 15 key technology equipment;
More than 50 job types and 2100 people worked hard for over 700 days, completing the installation of nearly 600000 components and over 8500 sets of equipment. The quality pass rate of the first inspection exceeded 99.8%;
The precision of structural integration is controlled within 4 millimeters, and the construction period is shortened by nearly 50% compared to similar international equipment;
After 17 days of towing over a distance of more than 1300 nautical miles, it crossed the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and Taiwan Strait and arrived at the service area;
Through the use of 12 anchor cables with a length of 2570 meters for rewiring, a single anchor leg has a mooring radius of 2500 meters and a breaking load of 2300 tons, equivalent to the weight of 1500 household cars.
Applied to China's first deepwater oilfield - Liuhua 11-1 Oilfield, standing in the deep sea at a depth of 324 meters, it provides a new choice for efficient development of deepwater oil and gas fields in China.
