Three oil spills took place in the Bohai Sea since June, two at the Penglai 19-3 oilfield and one at Suizhong 36-1 oilfield. The fields are being operated by ConocoPhillips China, a subsidiary company under U.S. energy giant ConocoPhillips, in a joint development agreement with CNOOC.

Three oil spills took place in the Bohai Sea since June, two at the Penglai 19-3 oilfield and one at Suizhong 36-1 oilfield. The fields are being operated by ConocoPhillips China, a subsidiary company under U.S. energy giant ConocoPhillips, in a joint development agreement with CNOOC.
The State Oceanic Administration (SOA) and Chinese maritime authorities ordered COPC to "take all effective measures" to stop the oil spill and remove risks of any new leakage before August 31.
The authority said on Oct. 16 that certain achievements have been made in sealing off the oil spill sources, and no more leak points have been detected in the area.
But beaches were reportedly polluted and marine species have been killed by the oil spill in the nearby provinces of Hebei and Liaoning. The US company is facing legal action and mounting public anger over the spill.
