Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) has been selected to handle critical project management and engineering for a third oil and natural gas platform that will tap energy reserves off the coast of Vietnam.
Hoang Long Joint Operating Co. (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.
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 fourth quarter of 2015. Total production from the three platforms is expected to be about 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
The new 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.
