TNK Vietnam Completes First Offshore Drilling Operations

TNK-BP has announced that the group’s subsidiary TNK Vietnam has successfully completed the drilling of two development wells on the Lan Đỏ offshore field in Vietnam.

The drilling operations began on January 14, 2012 and the wells took 94 days to be built and proceeded at depths of 185 meters. The wells will be tied back to the existing Lan Tây Platform using a single 12-inch subsea flow line in late May 2012.

The company plans to produce first gas in the fourth quarter of 2012. Lan Đỏ’s annual production capacity of 2 billion cubic meters will sustain Block 06.1’s current production of 4.7 billion cubic meters a year.
