P79 FPSO: A Milestone in Offshore Engineering
The P79 FPSO stands among the world’s largest floating production units:
Specifications: 345.3 meters in length, 60 meters in width, with a maximum displacement of 400,000 tons.
Deployment: Designed to operate in the Buzios oil field in the Santos Basin, Brazil, at water depths exceeding 2,000 meters.
Scope of Work: CNOOC Engineering was responsible for designing, procuring, constructing, and installing 13 core compression modules with a total weight of nearly 30,000 tons.
This marks another milestone in CNOOC Engineering’s track record of delivering large-scale deepwater FPSO projects in South America, following the successful delivery of two 350,000-ton FPSOs, P67 and P70.
Expanding Global Influence in Offshore Energy
CNOOC Engineering continues to demonstrate its capabilities in international high-end offshore energy equipment by delivering prestigious projects such as:
Penguin FPSO
Canada LNG Project
Saudi Marjan Project
In 2024, the company achieved a breakthrough by securing its first competitive Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for a kilometer-scale international deepwater project, positioning itself as a comprehensive Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor.
Advancing International Energy Cooperation
CNOOC Engineering has established strong partnerships with numerous global energy companies, including Saudi Aramco and Shell. It is the first Chinese enterprise to sign a Long-Term Agreement (EFA) with Shell and to earn Shell’s HSSE (Health, Safety, Security, and Environmental) green certification. These accomplishments highlight the growing competitiveness of “Made in China” in the international offshore energy sector.
