The world's first buoyant tower drilling platform was completed in the Nantong Economic and Technological Development Area (NETDA) on July 27.
The buoyant tower drilling platform project’s major contracting unit is Wison Marine Engineering. It only took the company 11 months to finish the project. The drilling platform will be shipped to Corvino oil field in Peru offshore.
The project’s buoyant tower technology was invented originally by Wison. It is the first application of the technology in the world. In addition, the project completion time was shorter than all other projects of the same kind, with no worker injuries.
