这家总部位于北京的公司表示，陵水 36-1 是全球首个超深水大型超浅气田。该气田已测试出产超过 10 MMcm/d 的绝对无阻天然气。

该油田位于琼东南盆地中央凹陷南部，平均水深约1500米，埋深约210米。

CNOOC Ltd. successfully discovered and received approval by the Chinese authorities on proved gas in-place for over 100 Bcm at the Lingshui 36-1 gas field in the South China Sea, CNOOC announced Aug. 7.

Lingshui 36-1 is the world’s first large, ultra-shallow gas field in ultra-deep water, the Beijing-based company said. The field has been tested to produce over 10 MMcm/d of absolute open flow natural gas.

Located in the southern portion of the Central Sag, Qiongdongnan Basin, the field’s average water depth is approximately 1,500 m with a burial depth of 210 m.
