Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) was selected to handle critical project management and engineering for a third oil and gas platform off the coast of Vietnam.

Hoang Long Joint Operating Co. will operate the TGT-H5 wellhead platform in the Te Giac Trang (TGT) Field off the southern coast of Vietnam. HPS was the main contractor and provided control and safety solutions for Hoang Long’s two other platforms that operate 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 the fourth quarter. Total production from the three platforms is expected to be about 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

The new contract includes engineering management and integration with the two existing TGT platforms, the FPSO vessel that processes the hydrocarbons produced by the platforms and remote monitoring from the Hoang Long office in Ho Chi Minh City. Specific technology to be used on the H5 platform includes Experion PKS, C300 Controller and Safety Manager.
