Many American oil companies have participated in Chinese offshore oil and gas development in recent years and will continue to do so. Very often American oil companies that pursue joint development programs with the Chinese oil firms are responsible for engineering and construction execution and facility operation. To fulfill the responsibilities, the American oil companies need to design, construct, install and operate an offshore facility in compliance with relevant Chinese offshore oil and gas development regulations. This article provides an overview of current Chinese regulations for offshore oil and gas exploration and production as well as highlights on some specific requirements imposed by the Chinese regulations, especially in environmental protection and safety areas. This article also discusses permitting requirements and mandatory approvals by the Chinese government. Other discussions include how to achieve compliance through sound strategy, thorough understanding and good planning.
