"China’s first integrated large-scale fracturing vessel, Haiyang Shiyou 696, was recently launched, entering a new stage of system commissioning," the SASAC reports.

"At 99.8 meters long, 22 meters wide, and 9.9 meters deep, this vessel boasts advanced cutting-edge fracturing systems with liquid supply, blending and sand mixing units. Its high integration, intelligence, displacement, power, storage, and safety features ensure optimal efficiency for offshore fracturing operations. Notably, this pioneering vessel is the first of its kind to emerge from China.

"To overcome technical challenges, the project team launched dedicated R&D initiatives, inviting shipbuilding and fracturing experts to participate in the vessel’s design. Two highly skilled technical supervision teams were stationed at the shipyard to oversee construction quality."

"China has launched what operator CNOOC Ltd claims to be the world’s largest and its own first offshore hydraulic fracturing vessel, Hai Yang Shi You 696, as part of an ambitious drive to tap into offshore shale and low-permeability hydrocarbon reserves.

"The vessel was launched this week at Wuhu Shipyard in China's Anhui province and will now undergo mooring trials and high-load system integration tests, which will assess equipment compatibility under complex working conditions, including varying water depths and tidal changes," the upstream.com reports.

"With a total length of 99.8 meters, a beam of 22 meters and a depth of 9.9 metres, Hai Yang Shi You 696 is designed by the Shanghai Shipbuilding Research & Design Institute (SDARI)."

"China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) launched the country's first integrated large-scale fracturing vessel, "Haiyang Shiyou 696," in Tianjin city, North China, which has entered the commissioning phase ahead of offshore operations, the Science and Technology Daily reported.

"The report noted that the state-of-the-art vessel features advanced integration, intelligent systems, high displacement and power, substantial storage capacity, and strong operational capabilities needed for offshore fracturing," the Global Times reports.

"Measuring 99.9 meters in length, a beam of 22 meters and a depth of 9.9 meters, the vessel is equipped with fracturing equipment, including fluid supply, mixing, and sand mixing systems and other material storage and supply equipment."

"CNOOC said the facility will meet the new demands for large-scale fracturing operations in the whole sea area of China, batch fracturing operations in multiple wells at sea, gas wells, and ultra-deep fracturing operations. It also fills a key technological and engineering gap in China’s offshore oilfield capabilities."
