INTRODUCTION
1.1
DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES
Rev:
The Su Tu Trang (White Lion) field is located at the South end of Block 15-1 (approximately
20kms South of STV) in approximately 56 meters of water. The Block 15-1 contract area is
located in the Cuu Long Basin offshore southern Vietnam, 180 kilometres southeast of Ho Chi
Minh City.
The development of Su Tu Trang started in September 2012 with the Long term Production
Testing Phase (LTPTP). It consists of a remote, unmanned wellhead platform (WHP-C) that
produces to and is controlled from the Su Tu Vang CPP. The platform has the capability of
handling up to 4 high pressure gas wells. Present production is 6,000 BPD of condensate and 50
MMSCFD of gas and all the STT produced fluids are exported for processing to the Su Tu Vang
CPP via a multiphase 12 pipeline.
Production of the Su Tu Trang Field is now bottlenecked by the CPP process capacities, and
most significantly by the gas export pipeline to shore and the gas sales demand in South
Vietnam.
The purpose of the Phase 1 of Su Tu Trang Full Field Development is to face these restrictions
by allowing the increase of the condensate production while keeping the gas export flow rate
steady. It will also provide more reservoir information to support STT Full Field Development
Phase 2 that will significantly increase gas production/export.
The Project consists of the installation of a reinjection platform (ST-PIP) bridge-linked to the
existing WHP-C, the drilling of two new wells on ST-PIP and the conversion from producers into
injectors of two existing wells on WHP-C. The outcome of the project will be a continuous
production rate of 150 MMSCFD, a reinjection rate of 100 MMSCFD, an export rate of 50
MMSCFD to Bach Ho via CPP (no change), and an incremental condensate production of 13,000
BPD.
ST-PIP will be bridge-linked to a separated living quarters platform designed for 20 pax during
Phase 1, but extendable to 60 pax at a later stage. In addition to accommodation, ST-LQ will be
equipped with most of the utilities for ST-PIP. It is also designed to be bridge-linked to a
separated Central Gas Facility Platform (CGF) in the future (Phase 2).
1.2
