At present, Huawei's 4G eLTE, an advanced version of 4G technology, provides stable connectivity for the Jwaneng mine, connecting more than 260 pieces of equipment, including drilling rigs, excavators, heavy trucks and pickup trucks.

目前，华为的4G eLTE是4G技术的高级版本，为Jwaneng矿场提供了稳定的连接，连接了260多台设备，包括钻机、挖掘机、重型卡车和皮卡。

The oil and gas rig, located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, Guangdong province, weighs up to 40,000 metric tons, setting records for China's offshore oil production platform and creating a new model in deep-sea oil and gas exploration.

该油气钻井平台位于广东省珠江口盆地，重达4万公吨，创下了中国海洋石油生产平台的纪录，开创了深海油气勘探的新模式。

Operating more than 100 vessels, including multipurpose and heavy lift vessels, semisubmersible ships and asphalt carriers around the world, CSSC is China's main transporter of oversized and overweight cargoes, such as oil rigs, engineering vessels, port machinery, locomotives, windmills, bridge cranes and other complete equipment.

CSSC在全球运营着100多艘船舶，包括多用途和重型起重船、半潜式船舶和沥青运输船，是中国大型和超重货物的主要运输商，如石油钻机、工程船、港口机械、机车、风车、桥式起重机和其他成套设备。

Apart from expanding its sales channels in global markets, in particular countries and regions involved in the BRI, CSSC subsidiaries have delivered vessels and offshore engineering equipment, including cold chain container ships, bulk carriers, chemical tankers and oil rigs, to shipowners in the United States, Norway, Greece, South Korea and Qatar over the past seven months.

One is to start the compressor and hot path component test rig construction, and the other is a pilot power plant construction at the end of May and September, respectively.

All the machines on display, including the world's biggest rotary drilling rig and the world's largest all-terrain crane, have obtained independent intellectual property rights which are vested with XCMG.

The floating nuclear power plant, which can be installed in a section of the vessel, is often used to supply stable electricity not only to remote areas but large industrial facilities such as seawater desalination plants and offshore oilfield exploration rigs.

"If you look at the global market for low-end oil rigs and bulk ships, you can see signs of decline everywhere," said Jin Peng, secretary-general of the China Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry.

They know they have no work for the ships or oil rigs, so they would rather not take delivery. "

He said therefore both oil rigs need to have a solid base to eliminate the risk in future operations.

In the southwestern municipality of Chongqing, more than 60 rotary drilling rigs were in simultaneous operation at a construction site for Changan Auto's new factory in January.

As the energy sector has benefited from surging commodity prices pushed by factors including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, inflation and climate change, China's offshore engineering equipment sector saw growing orders in the first half — its manufacturers delivered one jack-up drilling rig, one semi-submersible drilling platform and six marine engineering auxiliary ships to foreign and domestic clients in the first half, data from Shanghai Shipping Exchange showed.

Driven by a fast-growing offshore wind power sector and energy consumption transformation in many parts of the world, demand for new drilling rigs has declined and offshore production platforms and other auxiliary vessels have become popular choices in the industry, said Lin Boqiang, head of the China Institute for Studies in Energy Policy at Xiamen University in Fujian province.

Chinese products, including polar icebreakers, deep-water semi-submersible drilling rigs and liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, have strongly supported the growth of international trade, shipping activities and the marine economy, said Liu.

The offshore equipment market in China has already reached a certain scale, encompassing various areas like marine engineering ships, oil rigs, offshore wind power installation vessels, marine engineering heavy-lift ships and offshore platform supply vessels, said Lu Huawei, a professor specializing in offshore engineering equipment manufacturing at Dalian Maritime University in Liaoning province.

Xu said that in recent years, the company has realized unmanned driving for a range of mining machinery such as electric locomotives and drilling rigs.

According to Xu, in recent years, the company has realized unmanned driving for a range of mining machinery such as electric locomotives and drilling rigs.

Most of the equipment, including electric drilling rig, are domestically made, it said.

The well in Xinjiang will use the world's first automated drilling rig that is capable to reach 12,000 meters deep, independently developed by China.

The airport reconstruction project in Changsha, capital of Hunan province, is currently in full swing, with nearly 100 diggers, tower cranes, truck cranes and rotary drilling rigs roaring, and more than 400 construction employees working hard on the site.

"According to Sinopec, the Fuling shale gas field has achieved an almost full recovery of production through nonstop drilling rig operations and rapid resumption of fracking since the beginning of the year, despite the COVID-19 outbreak.

While costs of production are largely fixed, large and capital-intensive drilling operations will be hit harder than smaller rigs under such circumstances, which can shut down temporarily and then restart once prices rise.

In the foreseeable future, Chinese-made copter models are tipped to figure in a wide range of activities: maritime search-and-rescue missions, disaster aid, medical air services, maritime patrols, offshore oil rigs' transport operations, tourism, business aviation, news coverage, freight, offshore industries' operations, and police aviation squadrons - again, not just in China but the world over, experts said.

The Xinjiang branch of China National Petroleum Corp, or PetroChina, China's largest oil and gas producer and supplier, has started drilling work on 47 wells at the Jimsar shale oil field, using 36 drilling rigs, with work on eight wells already completed, the company said.

It plans to activate 45 drill rigs to drill 100 wells and fracture 55 wells within this year, including 43 new wells, the company said.

As the exploitation of shale oil in Jimsar is speeding up, the massive application of drill rigs and fracturing systems will significantly reduce the shale oil production costs, said Huang.

Its applications are in aerial inspections and data collection from offshore oil rigs, wind turbines, power lines, telecommunication towers and bridges.

The company's deep-water drilling rig, the CNOOC 981, discovered Lingshui 17-2, the country's first self-supported deep-water gas field, in September 2014.

The number of active drilling rigs in the United States increased by 13 to 1,057, or 108 more than this time last year, according to the weekly data released by Baker Hughes on Friday.

The Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes reported that the number of active oil rigs increased by ten to 869 this week, with more than half of oil rigs, or 485, located in Permian Basin region of western Texas and southeastern New Mexico.

The number of gas rigs increased by three, hitting 186, and miscellaneous rig count remained the same as 2 rigs in the week.

Analysts were surprised that five rigs were added in the Permian Basin despite the big price differential between Midland and WTI due to pipeline bottlenecks.

Canada's total rig count declined by 14 to 209 in the week.

Canada's oil rig counts declined by twelve and its gas rig counts declined by two this week.

Canada's oil and gas rig count is now down by 11 year on year.

Oil rigs were up by 13 year on year in Canada, while the number of gas rigs was down by 24.

Analysts attributed the major decline in the Canadian gas rig counts to the very low gas prices on the Canadian natural gas spot market.

On a recent morning in Yutian, a dusty town bisected by the highway that connects Beijing to the sea, Su Meiquan strolled into a dealership packed with hulking trucks and prepared to drive off with a brand new rig.

After years of driving a diesel truck for a trucking company, he had decided to buy his own vehicle－a bright red rig fueled with liquefied natural gas, capable of hauling as much as 40 metric tons of loads including steel or slabs of marble.

Brown suggests the use of autonomous big rigs could help as the US trucking industry needs to hire 1.1 million new drivers by 2030.

She majored in pure mathematics, and landed her first job as a research engineer, designing and testing pipelines for oil rigs in the North Sea.

The first female engineer qualified to work on offshore oil rigs in the United Kingdom, she became the head of offshore engineering and planning at British Gas, managing a team of more than 50 engineers at a very early age.
