CNOOC DF13-2 Fixed Platform

Offshore fixed platform · Western South China Sea — Yinggehai Basin

The Dongfang 13-2 gas field sits in about 70 m of water with one central platform and two wellhead platforms for 30 production wells. Its jacket and wellhead platform structures use a zinc-rich epoxy + high-build epoxy + polyurethane topcoat system, with epoxy intumescent passive fire protection in the process module fire zones. The case is taken from Jotun's public solutions brochure.

Project overview

The Dongfang 13-2 gas field lies in the Yinggehai Basin of the western South China Sea at about 70 m water depth, with proven reserves of roughly 100 billion m³. Development comprises one central platform and two wellhead platforms with 30 production wells in total; once on stream, annual gas output exceeds 3 billion m³. The project is documented in Jotun's offshore solutions brochure.

Corrosion and fire-protection challenges

  • With open-sea work in 70 m of water, jacket coating has to be completed during onshore fabrication in one pass;
  • High temperature, high humidity and heavy salt spray combine with a hydrocarbon-bearing gas-field environment;
  • The central platform's process area has fire-zone requirements.
