Dalian: CNOOC Ltd, a subsidiary of the China National Offshore Oil Corp, announced that it has discovered a new oilfield in the central and northern part of the Bohai Sea, sources reported.
The new find, to be called Qinhuangdao 35-4 or QHD35-4, is at a depth of about 26 meters and is estimated to produce around 1,700 barrels of crude oil and 100,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day.
