2. Work site: waters centered by Well XJ24-2-2 (21°20.60′N/114°59.43′E), with a radius of 1nm.
3. Work boat: Drilling Platform “Zhao Shang Hai Long 9”, “Hai Yang Shi You 673” and “De Shen”.
4. Cautions:
   1. Other irrelevant vessels are forbidden to enter the safe operation zone which is centered by the Drilling Platform “Zhao Shang Hai Long 9”, with a radius of 1nm.
   2. The workboats should display regulated lights and shapes in obvious places and keep AIS normally open.
   3. The workboats should strengthen duties on VHF CH16/CH68 and contact the passing vessels timely.
   4. Passing vessels should strengthen lookout and pay attention to the avoidance.

JHT (2023) No.6

1. Work duration: 17 January 2023 – 14 May 2023
2. Work content: Drilling operation on Well BZ8-S3-2
3. Work site: drilling operation in waters centered by Well BZ8-3S-2(38°47′17.133″N/119°25′35.107″E), with a radius of 500m.
4. Work boat and facility: Drilling Platform “Zhao Shang Hai Long 5”, “Min Long 6001”, “Min Long 6003”, “Hai Yang Shi You 642”, “Hai Yang Shi You 656”, “Zhong You Hai 252” and “De Yao”.
5.
