On March 18, CNOOC Lingshui 17-2 gas field development project team sent a batch of epidemic prevention masks to partners in Italy and France.

Witnessing the spread of the epidemic, Lingshui 17-2 gas field development project team made the decision to purchase a batch of masks to support project partners in Italy, France and Malaysia.

Learning the information, CNOOC Procurement Department and Zhanjiang Branch of CNOOC Limited attached great importance to the matter and managed to collect the needed masks in one day despite the shortage faced by the Company itself.

"The last few months have been challenging for your country and the same is now happening everywhere in the world. The way China managed the crisis and the better trend we can see there give us the hope that if we apply the same rules and lessons learned we will be able to control it," said Maria Sferruzza, Baker Hughes Asia Pacific President, in her letter, "I am specifically reaching out to express my gratitude for your generous gesture, proactively taking care to send masks to our Massa site. It is really unique. Thank you. I hope to meet you as soon as the situation will calm down."
