On 16th July 2015, the 90-meter jackup built by CIMC Raffles for Sinopec cut its first steel in CIMC Raffles Yantai shipyard.

The basic design is completed by Sinopec Drilling Technology Research Institute while CIMC Raffles is responsible for detailed design, producing design and construction. With operating depth of 91.4 meters, drilling depth of 9,144 meters and amenities for 120 persons, the jackup can be operated in 15 to 91.4 meter sea areas worldwide and is classed by CCS.

It is the second large offshore drilling rig project since CIMC Raffles signed strategy cooperation agreement with Sinopec in 2012. “New Shengli #1”, the first jackup, takes 363 days since starting to drilling operation. With 22 wells completion and drilling of 45,279 meters, it becomes the star of Shengli offshore drillings.

It is the 17th jackup build by CIMC Raffles. CIMC Raffles has delivered 10 jackups, operating in Bohai Bay, Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea.
