On the 25th local time, Abu Dhabi Port in the United Arab Emirates held a ceremony to welcome the arrival of the world's first large-scale dynamic positioning shallow water special exploration vessel - "Oriental Geophysical Innovator".

The world's first large-scale dynamic positioning shallow-water special exploration vessel, the "Oriental Geophysical Innovator", was delivered in Dalian Lushun Port in July this year, set sail from Batam, Indonesia, at the end of October, and arrived at Abu Dhabi Harbor, the destination port, on November 16, successfully completing its first transoceanic voyage. At the welcome ceremony held on the 25th, the "Oriental Geophysical Innovator" held an opening event to the outside world for the first time.

Yang Yuan: This world's most advanced shallow water operation vessel is made in China, what technical advantages does it have, and what advanced solutions does it provide for shallow water oil exploration? Let's get on board and take a look.

The "Oriental Geophysical Innovator" has a total length of 88.2 meters, a beam of 16.9 meters and a height of 13.9 meters, a total of 4 generator sets, and adopts all-electric propulsion. The reporter boarded the ship with the visitors and came to the ship's power center - the inside of the engine room, which is the UAV cabin, which realizes the digital management and intelligent control of the ship's control system, and greatly reduces the labor intensity of the crew.

In offshore oil exploration, large operating ships are affected by the draft and cannot enter shallow water operations, and marine shallow water geophysical exploration has always been a global problem. According to industry insiders, the important feature of the "Oriental Geophysical Innovator" is the "shallow draft", and its design and construction fill the gap of oil exploration equipment in shallow waters.

Luo Junchao, head of the Geophysical Department of the Eastern Geophysical Prospecting Ocean: Generally speaking, exploration ships that are commonly used internationally generally do not enter the area of 10 meters deep due to insurance and construction functions. Our vessel has a shallower draft of 2.5 meters, and it can operate in an area of 4 to 5 meters deep, which greatly solves the concerns of national oil companies and international high-end oil companies about safe navigation in shallow water operations.

Yang Yuan, reporter from the main station: According to the captain, when this ship was designed and built, it was not only a production operation ship, but also a "mobile home".

In order to meet the working and living needs of Chinese and foreign employees, the "Oriental Geophysical Innovator" has built facilities with different functions such as staff dormitories, gymnasiums, infirmaries, laundry, conference rooms, Chinese and Western cafeterias, etc. The "Oriental Geophysical Innovator" will take a short break in Abu Dhabi Harbor, and then join the offshore 3D exploration project of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company undertaken by Oriental Geophysical Prospecting, starting its first overseas operation under the "Belt and Road" and contributing Chinese wisdom to global offshore oil exploration.
