Phase I of the Bohai Zhong 19-6 gas field — the Bohai Sea’s first ~100 billion cubic meter-class gas field and a key project in China’s national gas production-storage-supply system — entered full production yesterday, delivering oil-and-gas equivalent of more than 5,200 tons per day and outperforming expectations. CNOOC Tianjin said Bohai oilfield’s focus on new-area capacity and lean management of mature fields drove Phase I start-ups at Kenli 10-2 and other hundred‑million‑ton-class fields; cumulative oil and gas output in 1H exceeded 21 mln tons, a record high, accelerating conversion of reserves into production.
