According to WorldEnergyReports, a publication focused on FPSO systems, the FPSO was ordered in 2018 and was completed in May 2020. 

Per WER, the FPSO is connected to Liuhua 16-2 via three 23-km subsea cables, one umbilical and two rigid pipelines -- and to Liuhua 20-2 via four 12-km subsea cables, one umbilical and two rigid pipelines.

A total of 26 development wells are planned to be put into production and development. The project is expected to reach its peak production of approximately 72,800 barrels of crude oil per day in 2022.
