Penglai 19-3 Offshore Oil Platform (Phases I & II)

Offshore oil platform (Phases I & II) · Bohai Bay, Contract Area 11/05

Penglai 19-3 is China's largest offshore oil field. Its jackets and topsides use Interzinc® 52 zinc-rich epoxy primer, Intergard® 475HS high-build epoxy intermediate and Interthane® 990 polyurethane topcoat, with Chartek® passive fire protection in process fire zones. The case is taken from AkzoNobel's public brochure.

Project overview

Penglai 19-3 is China's largest offshore oil field, in Bohai Bay at an average water depth of about 30 m. Phase I came on stream in 2002; Phase II added five wellhead platforms tied back to a central platform with an associated FPSO. The project is documented in AkzoNobel's brochure.

Corrosion and fire-protection challenges

  • The splash and tidal zones alternate wet and dry and are the most severe marine corrosion zones (C5-M / CX);
  • Platform structures are designed for a service life beyond 25 years, with extremely limited maintenance windows;
  • Topsides contain process fire zones, so anti-corrosion and passive fire protection must be specified zone by zone.
