Enping 15-1 is strategically located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, an area rich in hydrocarbon resources. The platform operates in waters about 80 meters deep and is designed to withstand harsh marine conditions, including strong winds and high waves. With a handling capacity of over 30,000 barrels of oil per day, it significantly contributes to China's oil supply, helping to meet the growing energy demand of the nation.

Since its commissioning, hundreds of engineers and technicians have worked tirelessly on the platform, facing the challenges of offshore operations. The drilling activities involve advanced technology and meticulous planning to ensure safety and efficiency. The platform is equipped with cutting-edge drilling rigs that allow for precise operations at great depths, enhancing both productivity and environmental protection.
