OREANDA-NEWS. December 01, 2011. TNK Vietnam, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TNK-BP, has successfully completed a 32-day Subsea Intervention Campaign on the Lan Tay offshore facilities. The work was performed to prepare the infrastructure prior to the development of the Lan Do gas field in block 06.1 on the Vietnam continental shelf, reported the press-centre of TNK-BP.

This scheduled intervention campaign at the offshore platform became the first technical project implemented by TNK-BP outside of Russia. The company successfully solved new engineering and technological issues to ensure reliable operation of five underwater gas wells in the Lan Tay field, one of the largest gas fields in Vietnam. Additionally, new data was gathered for use in updating the remaining reserves figures and forecasting production dynamics of the field.

In carrying out the maintenance work, the company used two diving support vessels and remotely operated underwater vehicles and engaged over 100 specialists from international contractors in addition to its own employees.

Hugh McIntosh, General Director of TNK Vietnam, said: “Following the completion of the sub-sea intervention campaign at Lan Tay, the field is ready to reach the highest levels of production during periods of high demand.”
