Gas output from China-developed deepwater gas field exceeds 10 billion cubic meters

China's first independently developed and independently built ultra-deepwater gas field, Shenhai Yihao, also known as Deep Sea No 1, has recorded an accumulated natural gas output of over 10 billion cubic meters to date, with an oil output exceeding one million cubic meters, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) announced on Wednesday.　

Shenhai Yihao is the deepest gas field of its kind in China and began operations on June 25, 2021. For three consecutive years, the project's annual natural gas production has remained above 3 billion cubic meters.　

The gas field is located 150 kilometers from the city of Sanya in South China's island province of Hainan. It is able to operate at a maximum marine depth of over 1,500 meters.
