TNK-BP, a Russia-based oil and gas enterprise, has commenced its
first offshore drilling operations on the Lan Do field development
project offshore Vietnam. The Lan Do 2P well was spud on January 14,
2012.
Lan Do field contains 2 vertical sub-sea wells at a water
depth of about 185 meters and is located 28 kilometers east of Lan Tay
Platform in Block 06.1, where TNK-BP is producing natural gas and
condensate for power generation in Vietnam. The sub-sea wells drilling
will be tied back to Lan Tay Platform using a single 12-inch flow line.
Gas
production from Lan Do, which is scheduled to come on stream in the
fourth quarter of this year, is expected to bring 2 billion cubic meters
of gas annually to sustain Block 06.1's current production of 4.7
billion cubic meters.
Alexander Dodds, Executive vice president,
upstream, said: "Launching operations at the Lan Do field is a milestone
in TNK-BP's operational history. It will provide us with crucial
technical data and allow us to acquire unique new competencies in
offshore field development.
