then someone post the abstract please.

The article says that the oil rig is the latest 6th generation 3000 meter deep water semi-submersible drilling platform. It weighs 30,000 tons and is capable of drilling to a depth of 10.000 meters. The 6 billion yuan (900 million US dollars) platform started sea trial in March and is scheduled to enter service in June in the South China Sea.

March 17, spring season, Shanghai Jiaotong University Fluid Dynamics Laboratory ocean vessels proud of all the members boarded on the docks in the Waigaoqiao Shipyard, "Offshore Oil 981" deep semi-submersible drilling platform. This is China's first deep-sea drilling platforms, which embody the wisdom of numerous National Chiao Tung University researchers and efforts.



  "Offshore Oil 981" deep-sea drilling platform, is the sixth generation of the world's most advanced 3,000 meters deep water semi-submersible drilling platform, "height" 136 meters, "weight" 3 million tons, built by China itself, in March this year sea ​​debugging, June will be entered service in the South China Sea. It has exploration, drilling, completion and workover operations and other functions, the maximum operating depth of 3,000 meters, the drilling depth of up to 10,000 meters. Platform deck the size of a standard football field, living area can accommodate about 160 people live in rooms at the top of the deck is equipped with a complete fire protection system includes a helicopter landing platform, can accommodate large helicopters, marine engineering field called "aircraft carrier" . This total cost of about 60 billion oil and gas drilling platform is a deep-sea exploration and development of the flagship, is the tool for fighting deep sea, since the Chinese offshore oil exploration and development capabilities achieved from the depth of 300 meters to 3,000 meters historic leap.



China's first deep-sea drilling platform "Offshore Oil 981"

  Since 2006, CNOOC plans to build China's first 3,000 meters water depth to operate under the conditions of the semi-submersible drilling platform, the I State Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering school to work closely with CNOOC for deepwater semi-submersible The overall performance of the drilling platform, location technology, pool model test, typhoon mooring pier, sea depth measurement, and other key technology research and development, and achieved remarkable results, and has been successfully applied to China's first 3,000 meters deep water semi-submersible drilling platform demonstration , design and construction.

  In 2006, CNOOC hopes for four internationally renowned program designed to focus the company's preliminary analysis to the analysis and grasp the main features presented on the basis of a self-optimized design. State Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering CNOOC was commissioned by the model test basin and corresponding numerical study of these semi-submersible drilling platform in the sports performance program, floating body in the connecting rod performance and force, air gap performance damping and other aspects of environmental analysis and summary for the target selection and design of the platform provides an important reference.

  2007 -2010, the State Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering and other units with the CNOOC joint commitment to the national "863 Program" Eleventh Five major projects subject "3000 meters deep semi-submersible drilling platform key technology" for China's first deep water semi-submersible platform, jointly developed key technologies. Deepwater semi-submersible oil drilling platform is the necessary equipment, known as "the flow of land," is a symbol of national comprehensive strength, but also the world's marine resources, marine power to carry out a powerful weapon for the game, but in the "Offshore Oil 981" turned out to Before the key technology for deep-sea platform dominated by a few developed countries. State Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering for the South China Sea oilfield ultra deep water, far offshore, sea conditions so bad, for the South China Sea, China's first deepwater semi-submersible drilling platform program of hydrodynamic performance and structural performance assessment, positioning and dynamic positioning anchor systems and technology research and model test system, developed with independent intellectual property rights of the formation of deep water semi-submersible drilling platform overall performance analysis, model test tank system and dynamic positioning capabilities of technology, and CNOOC, China Shipbuilding 708 This jointly developed operating depth 3,000 meters, and drilling depth of 10,000 meters, variable deck load of 9,000 tons, against 200-year storm once in the semi-submersible drilling platform design, to break the foreign monopoly on deep-sea platform technology.

  The deepwater semi-submersible drilling platform outfitting pier in February 2010 to be completed by the end of March 2011, a total of 1 years time mooring in the Waigaoqiao pier, during the typhoon season through the summer, you may encounter a typhoon hit the front. Laboratory researchers in the environmental conditions for the Waigaoqiao pier and practical engineering, to overcome the shoreline short of a bad environment such great difficulties, after dozens of studies exploring different options, the successful completion of the drilling platform Waigaoqiao port system Park's design, numerical analysis and model test, the final set of proposed mooring at the dock the platform solution, and applied to engineering practice, in order to ensure platform security during the outfitting pier, and platform construction and construction are provide a strong technical support.

  In addition, the laboratory has undertaken the implementation of semi-submersible drilling platform, boat measurements, and this is the first deepwater semi-submersible platform for the hydrodynamic and structural properties of the ship to carry out real measurements, to obtain actual performance data of such platforms, for the semi-submersible drilling platform in the future to further optimize the design and development of technical support. Currently, the project is well underway.
 
cost so much money.
hmm... money talks...
sounds like the government really has a lot of money. where are the carriers?
 
Amazing achievement.

Would it be a first by any Asian country or Japan also has this capability?
 
It is 30K ton not 3 million ton and the cost is 6 billion Yuan roughly less than 1 billion USD.
