Strengthening Upstream Operations and Enhancing Overall Profitability by Making New Discoveries and Adding High-Quality Assets
Maintaining Large Asset Portfolio by Adding New Projects Every Year
China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC)
added xx new projects to its portfolio between
2010 and 2014. Most were in offshore China.
Between 2013 and 2014, CNOOC’s overall
production increased by xx% from xxx million
barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) to xxx mmboe in
2014. CNOOC expects it to increase by xx–xx% to
xxx–xxx mmboe in 2015.
CNOOC plans to bring seven new projects on-
stream in 2015: Jinzhou 9-3 oil field adjustment
(commenced production), Bozhong 28/34 oil fields
adjustment, Kenli 10-1 oil field, Luda 10-1 oil field
adjustment, Dongfang 1-1 gas field phase I
adjustment, Weizhou 12-2 oil field joint
development and Weizhou 11-4N oil field phase II.
These projects have a gross peak capacity of
xxx,xxx barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) and
will contribute to the growth in production in 2015.
Maintaining Well-Established Resource Base by Adding New Discoveries Every Year
CNOOC has maintained a reasonable level of spending on Exploration and Development (E&D) and achieved satisfactory results. It has made new discoveries every year and maintained a high level of reserve additions. It made xx new discoveries between 2010 and 2014 and xx new discoveries alone in 2014. It has had a high success rate of new discoveries in mature exploration areas, including offshore China, which has support the sustainable growth of its reserves.
