Honewell expands footprint in Vietnam

Following this, Honeywell was named the main electrical and instrumentation building contractor by the Hoang Long Joint Operating Company (HLJOC) for its H-04 wellhead platform in the Te Giac Trang field.

This new project will require Honeywell to execute the design, procurement, construction, integration, testing and commissioning for the electrical and instrumentation building of the oil platform.

Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) will also supply the main and backup power generators, wellhead control panel and chemical injection skid.

In addition, HLJOC would gain value from an integrated Honeywell solution, managed by Honeywell’s integrated control and safety system, which consists of the Experion ® Process Knowledge System (PKS) and Safety Manager.

This contract followed the successful completion of an earlier phase (H-01 wellhead platform) of the Te Giac Trang field, which was completed earlier this year on schedule and within budget for HLJOC.

General manager, HLJOC Ngo Huu Hai said: “When we reach full production, the Te Giac Trang oil field will be a significant generator of resources for Vietnam and its business partners”.

“As a recent discovery, initiating operations quickly and safely in the oil field was of the utmost importance. Honeywell was able to provide a high level of project management, integration capability and reduced schedule risk that we couldn’t find anywhere else,” he added.

“When these wellhead platforms are optimised, the Te Giac Trang oil field will play a crucial role in Vietnam’s energy production and lessen reliance on foreign sources of oil,” said Tony Cosgrove, vice president for Asia Pacific, HPS.

One of the largest joint operating companies in Vietnam, HLJOC is a state-owned partnership comprising PetroVietnam, PTTEP, SOCO International and OPECO. When completed and at full production the facility, located in the Cuu Long basin off the southern Vietnam coast, will be capable of producing more than 55,000 barrels of oil per day.

HPS is a subsidiary of Honeywell’s Automation and Control Solutions group, a global leader in providing product and service solutions that improve efficiency and profitability, support regulatory compliance, and maintain safe, comfortable environments in homes, buildings and industry.
