At China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC)

In the journey to ensure national energy security

Overcoming difficulties is the norm and also the mission

Party branch secretaries lead with Party building

Building battle fortresses at the forefront of tackling challenges

Transform organizational advantages into winning advantages

Writing the CNOOC success story with hard work and responsibility

Breaking through barriers and making breakthroughs

Using innovation to solve core technical problems

Faced with technical bottlenecks, grassroots Party branches lead the effort, with party members taking the lead on the front lines, using innovation to break development dilemmas.

The Pipeline Department of CNOOC Development Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. incorporated non-contact detection technology research and development into the “Secretary Project,” with party members taking the lead. They completed detection of 226 kilometers of subsea pipelines and collected key electric field data, providing scientific basis for pipeline anti-corrosion work. The Party branch led the creation of a “fault-tolerant shield + innovative fuel” dual-track mechanism, establishing a “golden ideas bank” for all staff to suggest process improvements, and discussing failures in technical research with a focus on facts and issues, fostering an environment that encourages exploration and tolerates failure.

The Digital Technology Branch of CNOOC Development Information Technology Co., Ltd. Tianjin Branch focused on offshore 5G communication challenges, forming a “Party Member Commando Team.” Core party members previously worked on Bohai offshore platforms, optimizing antenna design and innovating network architecture to achieve stable coverage within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

How to expand the application of hard-won technological achievements to broader sea areas? To address this, the Party branch developed a “1 standard system + 4 major sea area practices + N intelligent scenarios” 5G private network construction model, creating 12 core technical standards to provide a unified “benchmark” for subsequent promotion and application in other sea areas.

The Special Equipment Branch of CNOOC Engineering Co., Ltd. Tanggu Branch’s Inspection Business Department addressed issues like long inspection times for submarine pipelines using traditional film radiography by establishing a “Party Member Technical R&D Team.” Party members took the lead in the workshop, developing a self-protected digital radiography device for inspecting submarine welds. This equipment features real-time imaging and automatic defect marking, reducing evaluation time by over 30% compared to previous equipment.

To continuously motivate the team’s internal drive to overcome difficulties, the Party branch emphasizes positive incentives and process management, implementing immediate reward mechanisms for outstanding contributions, and establishing regular review systems to systematically summarize and standardize technical solutions, operational procedures, and management experiences, transforming them into replicable and promotable technical assets and management models.

Practical action and responsibility

Enhancing efficiency and increasing reserves through integration

Focusing on oil and gas reserve increase, safe production, grassroots Party branches promote deep integration of Party building and production, optimizing processes and innovating models to demonstrate responsibility in improving quality and efficiency.

The Maintenance Department of China National Chemical Corporation Fudao Company uses maintenance sites as the main battlefield to test Party building effectiveness. Addressing equipment operation risks, party members lead on-site “consultations,” precisely identifying and eliminating hazards. Meanwhile, the Party branch established a “Party Member Expert Leading and Worker Model On-site Skill Transmission” mentorship mechanism, creating a virtuous cycle of completing major repairs and cultivating backbone personnel.

The Assembly Operations Department of CNOOC Engineering Tianjin Intelligent Manufacturing Branch adheres to the principles of “maximizing land completion” and “using land to support the sea,” optimizing offshore platform land construction procedures, developing integrated checklists for various specialties, and achieving standardized, intelligent manufacturing of products. The branch also established a “Party Member Innovation Studio,” organizing activities like “Challenge Bounties and Problem Solving.” Party members play pioneering roles, leading ideas, tasks, and frontline efforts, effectively promoting technological innovation and management improvement.

The Logistics and Huizhou Company Command Center of CNOOC Development addressed issues such as low equipment utilization, resource information silos, and fragmented workflows by gathering intelligence and innovating, implementing a “unified loading and unloading” model. Party members led client engagement and optimized the “direct transfer by vehicle and ship” plan, greatly improving port diversion efficiency and reducing ship delays. The branch formed a “Party Member Breakthrough Team,” upgrading the “ship-unload and load immediately” operation mode, increasing efficiency by about 15%, and promoting shared trailers and two-way distribution to ensure stable production in the East China Sea oil fields.

Strengthening roots and consolidating foundations

Using organizational advantages to gather strength for breakthroughs

Strengthening grassroots foundations and building a strong team are fundamental to overcoming difficulties. Grassroots Party branches innovate organizational models, transforming weak links into strong fortresses.

The Oil Production Company of CNOOC Development’s Tianjin Branch creates a “Secretary-led overall planning, branch-led collaborative effort, and Party member-led demonstration” integrated model. Addressing issues like rising water cut and declining crude oil output, the Party general branch formed a “Party Member Vanguard Team,” carefully designing technical transformation and upgrade plans, completing over 1,000 preventive maintenance tasks, and steadily increasing daily crude oil production. During the “Secretary Project” implementation, the branch used a combination of online and offline methods, organizing dozens of technical exchanges and discussions, leading project teams to overcome technical challenges, and achieving breakthroughs in key technologies and orderly implementation of major projects.

The Ship Service Center Party Branch of CNOOC Shenzhen Marine Engineering Technology Service Co., Ltd. addressed crew turnover issues by forming a “Three Navigation Project” with five ship branches, organizing flagship shore-based Party branches to pair with ship branches for mutual support, and promoting all five ship branches to achieve standardized and normalized construction. Through innovative management, strengthened internal and external coordination, and optimized resource allocation, the branch reduced single-ship operating costs by over 27%, significantly improving operational efficiency and market competitiveness.
