In partnership with China National Offshore Oil, the company’s co-venturer in the field, ConocoPhillips China is developing a compliance plan and is expected to submit it to SOA shortly.
ConocoPhillips China said activities that are related to depressurizing the field will continue in a safe and environmentally responsible way.
The operator, ConocoPhillips China said the Peng Lai 19-3 field has been operating at reduced rates since the incidents occurred in June.
The shut down will have an impact on production from the field, which averaged about 56,000 net barrels of crude oil per day in last year.
The Peng Lai 19-3 field is 49% owned by ConocoPhillips, the parent company of ConocoPhillips China.
Headquartered in Texas, US, ConocoPhillips is an integrated energy company with interests across the globe.
