COOEC Delivers 36 Core Modules of Yamal LNG Project on Time

On August 16, Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd. ("COOEC") shipped the last module of Yamal LNG project it undertook to the North Pole. The construction took 35 months and achieved a record of 386.3 million man hours without any lost-time injury.

In July 2014, COOEC signed the contract for 36 core modules of an LNG factory, the major facility of the Yamal LNG project, which is the company's largest overseas contract with contract amount of USD1.643 billion on. Located in the Arctic Circle in Russia, Yamal LNG project is the first integrated project of polar natural gas exploration & development, liquefaction, transportation and selling in the world.

Through the project, COOEC has successfully mastered the LNG core process module construction technology and entered the international high-end oil-gas equipment market. It has also made breakthroughs in key technologies, including welding, deep-cooling heat preservation, hoisting of huge and irregular equipment, and large-area fireproof paint coating.

CNOOC also promoted home-made materials application in the project, stimulating technological transformation and upgrading in related domestic industries.
