Total begins production at Greater Bongkot South field

Total and the partners of the Bongkot Joint Venture announce the start of the production from the Greater Bongkot South (GBS) gas and condensate field in the Gulf of Thailand. The Joint Venture is operated by PTTEP (44.45%), alongside partners Total (33.33%) and BG Group (22.22%).

Jean-Marie Guillermou, Senior Vice-President for Total Exploration-Production mentioned: “I am delighted with the start-up of the Great Bongkot South field in line with the schedule and within the budget which will increase by 50% our production capacity in Thailand and will enable the Bongkot Joint Venture to further contribute to the growing gas demand in Thailand.”

The offshore GBS field is located in the Gulf of Thailand’s blocks B16 and B17, approximately 200 km East of Songkhla. This new standalone development consists of a central processing platform, a living quarter platform and 13 wellhead platforms.

The processing platform has a capacity of 350 million ft³/d of gas and 15,000 bpd of condensate. Gas is exported via a new build spur line to the PTT grid while condensate is exported to the existing Floating, Storage and Offloading (FSO) vessel at the Greater Bongkot North field, which is located 80 km to the north.
