On December 21nd, two F1600L Mud Pumps, designed and manufactured by ZPEC for CNOOC Ltd., successfully passed the third-party BV acceptance and were shipped from the ZPEC Shanghai Headquarters. This is the second time that ZPEC cooperated with CNOOC to supply offshore platforms, marking ZPEC’s solid steps on its way to entering the high-end oil service market.

The F1600L Mud Pump serves the CNOOC Oil Canxue Offshore Platform. The site is located in the East China Sea, 400 kilometers east of Zhoushan. The Equipment Group relies on strong technical research and development capabilities according to the offshore platform operating environment and safe lifting requirements. These tailored two mud pump sets include a modular design.  The single piece does not exceed 13 tons and it meets the requirements of drilling platform hoisting operations. The appearance has a blue coating and is resistant to marine salt spray corrosion. The main components of the product, such as pump body, motor and lock, have passed CCS certification.

During the production and commissioning of the CNOOC F1600L Mud Pumps, the company was in the resolute battle phase of the Sino-Tharwa Project. The time was tight and the task was heavy. The leaders of Group attached great importance to it to ensure product quality and delivery time while closely cooperating. The project team prepared operational plans, clarified responsibilities, and tracked and implemented each link and step one by one. During the equipment joint debugging test stage, the machine ran continuously for 24 hours without stopping. In order to deliver the products as scheduled, the people of ZPEC carried forward “the spirit of iron-blooded journey" and worked continuously for 24 hours throughout the night, finally ensuring the project was completed on time.

The re-delivery of the CNOOC F1600L Mud Pumps mark a historic leap made by ZPEC in the field of offshore engineering equipment manufacturing and the ability of ZPEC to manufacture offshore engineering equipment is a major breakthrough.
