China Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., or the COOEC, has engaged in extensive cooperation and exchanges with 31 countries and regions along the Belt and Road since the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was proposed back in 2013.

The company has implemented a total of 70 projects worth more than 20 billion yuan($2.73 billion), facilitating the energy development and high-quality economic and social development of involved countries.

Over the past decade, CNOOC Engineering has been deeply involved in the manufacturing of large-scale energy project equipment. They have delivered over 200 individual units of international oil and gas equipment, with a total weight exceeding that of 100 Eiffel Towers.

More than 600 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle in the town of Sabetta, Russia, the Yamal LNG gas processing plant, constructed by CNOOC Engineering, is operating at full capacity.

In 2022, the plant produced over 21 million tons of liquefied natural gas. During the project's construction, facing the challenge of 36 core process modules with a total weight of approximately 180,000 tons, CNOOC Engineering spent 35 months successfully overcoming a series of technical hurdles, pioneering China's first independent completion of an international LNG core process module.

In the waters of Myanmar in the northeastern Indian Ocean, the platform of Zawtika1B stands majestically. Through active cooperation with oil companies from Southeastern Asian countries to muster resources, the CNOOC completed the design, construction and offshore installation of four wellhead platforms and the laying of four submarine pipelines, completing construction one month ahead of schedule.

In Uganda, the Kingfisher EPC3 general contracting project contracted by the COOEC is in full swing. After the commercial discovery of gas and oil for the first time in Uganda, a new crude oil central processing station and four well sites and ancillary facilities were constructed to promote Uganda as an important crude oil producer in East Africa, propelling the rapid development of the local economy.

Over the past 10 years, under the guidance of the BRI, the COOEC has provided successful practical examples for Chinese enterprises in working with BRI partner countries.
