On June 9 the WHPG pilot platform’s first well, G10, was spudded, marking the
start of drilling for Phase II of the Bohai 19-6 gas field development. The
field, in the central Bohai Sea at roughly 20m water depth, has identified
geological gas reserves of over 200 bcm and condensate reserves above 200 mln
m3. Phase I entered production in November 2023; Phase II will construct three
wellhead platforms and three conductor jackets.
