The shipping platform

Location: The new platforms for Platong II were installed 120 km offshore Thailand, adjacent to the existing Platong complex in shallow waters of 70m depth. General overview: See Erawan entry for Platong. Both platforms are linked to the existing facilities via a bridge.The gas processing platform consists of two gas processing trains fully equipped with compression, dehydration, dew point control, mercury removal, condensate stabilisation and water-handling facilities. The facilities operate at a nameplate capacity of 420 million standard cubic feet per day of sales gas, 22,000 barrels per day of condensate and up to 60,000 barrels per day of produced water. Approximately 30 remote wellhead platforms will be installed over the lifetime of the development. The Platong II development produces natural gas, increasing the country’s gas processing capacity by 420 million cubic feet. The added capacity accounts for 14% of natural gas consumed for power generation in Asia Pacific. Load line zone: Tropical.
