BEIJING, Oct 9 - China CNOOC Ltd's (0883.HK) said its offshore gas field Huizhou 21-1 has resumed normal productions after being forced to shut down for three weeks by a typhoon. However, adjacent oilfields remained closed because of storm damage.
The Huizhou oilfields were shut on Sept 14 because of Typhoon Koppu, which damaged its single-point mooring system and forced the evacuation of its floating production and storage facility, CNOOC said in a statement on Thursday.
The fields, jointly operated by CACT group -- Italy's Eni (ENI.MI) and U.S. major Chevron Corp (CVX.N) -- produce more than 40,000 barrels per day of oil at normal rates.
A CNOOC investor relations official said she was not aware of a timeline yet for the resumption of operations.
Huizhou 21-1 gas fields, operated by the same foreign oil group, began pumping at the pre-storm level of 45 million cubic feet per day on Oct. 5, CNOOC said.
The fields were located at Pearl River Mouth basin in the South China Sea, 120 miles southeast of Hong Kong, CNOOC said.
