CNOOC says Qinhuangdao 32-6 in Bohai uses more than 26,000 data-acquisition points in one platform for reservoirs, injection, production and equipment. It diagnoses production abnormalities and generates optimization plans.

Reported result
CNOOC reports 30% less time for reservoir-potential studies, more than 90% early-warning accuracy for critical equipment, and more than RMB 10 million lower annual operating and maintenance costs. These are integrated-program results, not isolated AI benefits or net ROI. Earlier smart-drilling demonstration: 26% faster drilling, also not AI-only.
What this does not establish
Company-reported results. Study-time baseline, warning-accuracy denominator, cost calculation, implementation cost and independent validation are absent. No disclosed execution authority or safety boundary. This expands the already-named Qinhuangdao component of AI-145; it is not a second project or a new counted numerical-result profile. AI-082 remains separately unresolved.
The competitive advantage may come from connecting data and decisions across a field. Ask what changed in field work, how recommendations are checked, and which benefits remain after the cost of keeping the system reliable.

One oilfield connects reservoir, production and equipment data
CNOOC says Qinhuangdao 32-6 in Bohai uses more than 26,000 data-acquisition points in one platform for reservoirs, injection, production and equipment. It diagnoses production abnormalities and generates optimization plans. More than 26,000 acquisition points feed the platform. The company places this field example within its broader AI+ and data-efficiency program. The field passage describes connected instrumentation, diagnostics and plan generation, but does not identify the model or how much of the improvement comes from AI. Automatic plan generation does not establish automatic execution or operator approval.
