Wison Offshore won the world's first buoyancy tower drilling production platform order

Shanghai-based Wison Ocean Engineering Co., Ltd. announced on November 17, 2011 that it has won the general contract for the world's first Buoyant Tower drilling and production platform, which is provided to BPZ Energy. Engineering design, procurement and construction services for the project. The project, named CX-15, will be applied to the Covina field off the coast of Peru.
The CX-15 project will be patented and detailed by Houghton Wison Deepwater Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture company owned by Wison Offshore Holdings in 2009. The main structure of the platform buoyancy tower and the construction of the upper module will be benefited. The production base of Shengnantong was completed. Wison Ocean Engineering (USA) Co., Ltd. will be responsible for project management, procurement and construction services for the entire project.
“The completion of the CX-15 project will not only help BPZ Energy to increase production, but also an important opportunity for Wison Offshore to demonstrate its complete solution capabilities to the industry.” Mr. Dwayne Breaux, President of Wison Ocean Engineering (USA) Co., Ltd. "Our team in the US and China will work together for this project and work closely together to demonstrate our ability to create value for our clients."
Houghton Wison Deepwater Technology Co., Ltd. will give full play to its advantages in R&D and design of deepwater technology. The main structure of the buoyancy tower platform developed by it is composed of four columnar tubular units, which are fixed to the seabed by mooring. The pontoon and the superstructure are integrated. The superstructure functions as both a production facility for compressed gas and water injection and as a support structure for the rig. The platform can drill 24 drilling slots. The upper module of this technology is installed by the float method, which can be used repeatedly compared with the traditional jacket fixed platform, especially for the marginal oil field, which has better development economy and risk resistance, and is unique to earthquake resistance. ability.
The project integrates Wison Marine's outstanding team in China and the United States, combining high-quality Chinese manufacturing advantages with international project management standards and professional experience, as well as Horton Wison's cutting-edge deep-sea technology. The important practice of integrating one-stop project service capabilities of global resources and the milestones of Wison's offshore development.
Houston-based BPZ Energy is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company that covers approximately 2.2 million acres in northwestern Peru.
