Keppel FloaTEC LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keppel Offshore & Marine, has secured a contract worth about US$40 million from PTSC Mechanical & Construction, to provide engineering, technology and construction management support services for the Repsol Ca Rong Do Tension Leg Wellhead Platform (TLWP) to be built in Vietnam.
The platform will be located in a water depth of 320 metres and host up to 20 wells including oil production, water injection and gas injection. Keppel FloaTEC’s work on the wellhead platform comprises hull and mooring engineering, topsides basic engineering, as well as construction management support services.
The platform will be the first TLWP in Vietnam and, when installed, the first three-column TLWP in the offshore oil and gas industry. It will be part of the overall field development plan, which includes the development of a TLWP, a Tender Assisted Drilling (TAD) vessel and a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel. When completed, the TLWP will be deployed in the Ca Rong Do field development offshore southern Vietnam.
Mr Chris Ong, Acting CEO of Keppel O&M, said: “We are pleased to be able to further support Vietnam’s oil and gas projects with this latest project win by Keppel FloaTEC” and added: “I am confident that this TLWP will become the preferred proven solution for projects of similar water depths.”
