China will set up its first deepsea oil spill emergency center in the southern city of Shenzhen, China's state asset supervisor said on its website.
The oil spill response center, in the vicinity of CNOOC's Huizhou oil field, will be capable of handling spills from pipelines located 1,500 meters below the sea surface level.
The emergency center will provides services to oil blocks in both the East China Sea and the South China Sea areas, according to the state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
