MacGregor delivers riser pull-in system
The Lingshui 17-2 (LS 17-2) platform is operated by CNOOC and will be China’s first wholly owned and operated deepwater gas platform. It is expected to commence gas production in 2021.
In 2019, MacGregor was chosen to supply the on-vessel mooring systems and riser pull-in system. “The LS17-2 project is focused on technology and quality,” said You Xuegang, deputy chief manager of CNOOC Zhanjiang branch. “It is a brand new project for both CNOOC and MacGregor, with the importance of the riser system in deepwater development being equivalent to the human carotid artery.”
Speaking at the delivery ceremony, Jane Chen, vice president, marketing, business development and strategy, head of China at MacGregor, highlighted the cooperation between MacGregor and CNOOC during the past ten years. “We are proud to have provided active heave compensated cranes to CNOOC’s Haiyang Shiyou 286 and Haiyang Shiyou 691, and been recognised as one of the two suppliers of excellence for the delivery of AHC crane and A-Frame for Haiyang Shiyou 295,” she said.
“We greatly appreciate CNOOC’s trust in MacGregor, and we will continue to support CNOOC with excellent products and services,” she added.
