CHINA'S first home-made offshore drilling platform has completed assembly and is expected to be delivered to its owner at the end of the year.
The Deep Water Semi-Submersible Drilling Platform, valued around 6 billion yuan (US$877 million), left Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co's dock today. It is the most advanced in the world.
Designed by the No 708 Research Institute of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, the new drilling center weighs over 30,000 tons and can drill at 10,000 meters below sea level.
The new equipment will go through testing and trials before delivery to China National Offshore Oil Corp at the end of December to explore offshore oil in the South China Sea.
The Shanghai-based shipyard completed 6.05 million dead weight tons of new vessels last year, the biggest output among domestic ship makers.
