HLJOC will operate the TGT-H5 wellhead platform located in the Te Giac Trang (TGT) Field off the southern coast of Vietnam. HPS served as the main contractor and provided control and safety solutions for HLJOC's two other platforms that are currently operating in the TGT field.
The contract includes engineering management and integration with the two existing TGT platforms, the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel that processes the hydrocarbons produced by the platforms, and remote monitoring from the HLJOC office in Ho Chi Minh City. Specific technology to be used on the H5 platform includes Experion PKS, C300 Controller, and Safety Manager.
Along with turnkey project management and engineering of the new platform's topside structures, HPS will install an integrated Honeywell control and safety solution, including a new fire and gas system, to improve automation, increase cyber and physical security, and improve operator effectiveness. TGT-H5 plans to begin production in 4Q 2015. Total production from the three platforms is expected to be about 50,000 b/d of crude oil.
"We selected Honeywell not only for its technology but also for the experience and commitment that the Honeywell team brings to the TGT-H5 project,” says Dr. Cu Xuan Bao, HLJOC general manager. “We have had a highly positive experience working with Honeywell on two previous wellhead platform projects, TGT-H1 and TGT-H4, both of which were completed on time and on budget."
HLJOC is a state-owned partnership between PetroVietnam E&P Corp., SOCO Vietnam Ltd., OPECO Vietnam Ltd and PTT E&P Co. Ltd.
