China completed the construction of a 12,000-tonne offshore oil and gas drilling platform on May 26. It is the central platform of China's Bozhong 19-6 gas field, which is the first large and integral 100-billion-cubic-meter gas field in east China, with proven geological reserves of natural gas exceeding 200 billion cubic meters. The platform is 32 meters high, 65 meters long and 56 meters wide, and it weighs more than 12,000 tonnes. Once operational, the platform is expected to provide stable and reliable clean energy and chemical products for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
