Construction of the Qatar Bul Hanine (BH) EPIC project, contracted by Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd. (COOEC), began on Sept. 15 at the Qingdao International Highend Equipment Manufacturing Base in east China's Shandong Province. This is the international offshore oil and gas EPIC project with the largest contract value, broadest business scope and highest overall construction difficulty ever undertaken by a Chinese enterprise.

Located in the Bul Hanine oilfield offshore Qatar, the project is invested and developed by QatarEnergy, covers the entire chain of design, procurement, construction, transportation, installation and commissioning.

The project team has established a full-cycle integrated management and control mechanism, with dedicated plans developed for key links including process interfaces, risk isolation and resource allocation. Leveraging China’s complete offshore engineering full-industrial-chain strengths and achievements in digital transformation, the team will extensively deploy 3D digital modeling and full-process engineering simulation technologies to deliver a benchmark project for international oil and gas cooperation.

In recent years, COOEC has continued to expand its presence in the international high-end offshore energy engineering market. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021–2025), the company secured over 170 overseas projects and successfully delivered a number of landmark projects with broad international influence, including Canada LNG, the Penguins FPSO, and Saudi Arabia's Marjan project, achieving its transformation from an engineering subcontractor to an international engineering general contractor, and further to a "one-stop" international engineering general contractor.
