积极开展中、深水技术的研究

To Expand Research on Intermediate and Deep Water Exploiting Technology

随着海洋工程技术的不断发展和世界海洋石油勘探开发的需要,国际上许多有经验、有远见的油公司和工程公司均以很高的热情迎着深水带来的挑战,已着眼于3,000～8,000英尺水深的海洋工程技术的研究。我国海洋工程技术的发展起步较晚,发展也自然滞后一些。前几年国家支持的一些海洋工程研究项目大都注重于渤海和北部湾的浅水区。但是近年来珠江口和莺歌海都有了很好的油气发现,特别是珠江口从100m水深到350m水深已有多个油田在准备投入开发。因此,虽然我们眼前还没有3,000～8,000英尺这样极深水技术的需要,但对常规的中深水技术的需要已非常迫切了。譬如,水深320m的流花11-1油田就正酝酿着以深水导管架、张力腿平台。

On the basis of knowledge of the present status at Pearl River Estuary, the author considered it a necessity to unfold researches on exploitation technologies for intermediate and deep seas. Projects to be studied should come from actual needs for the oil fields, or those that are of common interests and significance to all fields. The author placed his emphasis on China's participation of international joint research programs in this respect. It is only through international collaboration can we combine theory with practice, grasp the essence of new technology and improve our design ability and level.
