May 2015 News

Honeywell Process Solutions 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 Company will operate the TGT-H5 wellhead platform located in the Te Giac Trang 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 per day.
