Research Group Introduction

Lin Fangjian has more than 30 years of practical engineering experience in floating and underwater production systems. His projects cover almost all fields of deep water, including drilling, riser design and underwater installation;

The single line free standing risers technology was successfully developed and introduced into projects in West Africa and Brazil;

He is the leading expert in the field of deep seabed mining in the world (the depth of the seabed is 6000 meters), and fully grasps the cutting-edge technology of the current international leading vertical transportation system.
