Summary Information

  • Operator: Hoang Long Joint Operating Company ('HLJOC')
  • Country: Vietnam
  • Location: North of Block 16-1, off the southern coast
  • Production start: 2011
  • Partners: PetroVietnam, PTTEP, SOCO
  • Type: Oil & Gas
  • Estimated Reserves:
  • Production Volume: The production from the field is expected to reach approximately 40,000 bpd of crude oil and 30 million cubic feet per day

+++ Description

  • The development is comprised of a Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading vessel ('FPSO'), two Well Head Platforms (H1 and H4 areas), and a subsea pipeline system to transport hydrocarbons, gas export, gas lift and water for injection.
  • Crude oil from the TGT Field is transported via a subsea pipeline system to the 'Armada TGT 1 FPSO', which has a name plate processing capacity of 55,000 barrels of oil per day ('BOPD'), where it is processed, stored and exported via tankers to regional oil refineries.
  • Gas will be transported through a pipeline to the nearby Bach Ho Facilities for processing and transportation to shore via the existing pipeline infrastructure for further distribution to meet domestic demand. TGT oil output is expected to plateau at approximately 55,000 BOPD and gas production will be approximately 30 million cubic feet per day.
