The Bozhong well, located in central Bohai Bay, was drilled to a depth of 6,088 m and is currently producing approximately 6,300 boe/d.
The Bozhong 19-6 Condensate Gas Field, situated in an average water depth of about 20 m, contains proven oil and gas in place of more than 200 Bcm of natural gas and more than 200 MMcm of oil.
