On November 27, CNOOC held the first deepwater well control emergency drill in Haikou City,
Hainan Province. Sun Jinsheng, member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the emergency
management department, Hainan Provincial Emergency Management Department, and relevant
officials of CNOOC attended the drill.
Blowout accidents are vicious accidents in offshore oil and gas exploration and development
operations. Improper disposal will cause major casualties, huge economic losses, and serious
marine ecological environmental pollution. This emergency drill is the first comprehensive
deepwater well control emergency drill of CNOOC. It uses a combination of real offshore
deepwater drilling platform drills and onshore emergency response support to simulate the
well control emergency and oil spill emergency of the “Offshore Oil 982” drilling platform.
It was included personnel evacuation, ROV shut-in, well killing, and oil spill recovery by
deploying oil booms and oil absorbent pads, and emergency release. Through this drill,
the actual combat capabilities of CNOOC deep-water well control emergency treatment
equipment technology, as well as the deep-water well control emergency treatment
processes and emergency plans, decision-making mechanisms, materials and equipment,
technical solutions and personnel skills were further improved, which further improved
CNOOC's deep-water well-control emergency response capabilities and provided safety
guarantees for national deep-sea oil and gas exploration and development.
