The main facilities and equipment of the oilfield cluster include Enping 15-1 platform, the largest offshore oil production platform in Asia, Enping 10-2 platform, the first newly built unmanned platform in the eastern South China Sea, and China's first set of offshore carbon dioxide storage device.

Enping 15-1 platform is the most important offshore facility of Enping 15-1 oilfield group, which is independently designed, constructed, installed and operated by CNOOC. The total height of the platform is about 160 meters, the total weight is more than 30,000 tons, the single-deck area is equivalent to 10 basketball courts, and nearly 600 sets of equipment and systems are installed. It can realize many functions, such as drilling, well intervention, unmanned remote control, carbon dioxide injection storage, independent power generation and power networking, and comprehensive treatment of oil, gas and water. At present, it is the largest deck area, heaviest block weight, most equipment and the most fully functional offshore oil production platform in Asia.
