Description:
- An indigenously-developed deep-sea semi-submersible drilling platform has completed drilling its first deep-water development in east South China sea, according to the Chinese state-owned publication, Global Times. With a measured wellbore depth 4,660 metres and a true vertical depth (the distance from the well to the surface) of 2,529 meters, it is claimed to be the first deep-water well in operation by a Chinese-manufactured platform.
