CNOOC completed temporary repairs of the third-party damage to the pipeline mid-January 2012, and has been supplying gas to customers since. Severe environmental conditions at the leak site delayed repairs.

Zhuhai terminal, on Hengqin Island, Zhuhai city, is the gas processing terminal for joint development of both the Panyu 30-1 gas field and Hui Zhou 21-1 oil field in the eastern South China Sea off Guangdong Province.
