Quick Facts History, General characteristics ...

The rig began operation on May 9, 2012, in the South China Sea, 320 km southeast of Hong Kong, at a depth of 1,500 m. On May 2, 2014, the platform was moved near to the Paracel islands,[1] a move Vietnam stated violated their territorial claims[2] while Chinese officials said was legal[3] as it falls within surrounding waters of the Paracel Islands which China militarily controls.

Since the dominion of its location is claimed by both China and Vietnam, this raised a storm of protest in Vietnam.
