PTSC BIEN DONG 01

• Latitude: 8.049807
• Longitude: 108.9091
• Indonesia
• Offshore Terminal in Singapore

Location: Singapore

The PTSC Bien Dong 01 is an advanced offshore terminal utilized for energy exploration and production activities, specifically for the Bien Dong project. The asset is affiliated with PetroVietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC), which serves Vietnam’s petroleum sector, and was constructed with high standards in mind for offshore operations.

Description:

1. Function:

• Multi-Purpose Use: Primarily functions as a Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) unit, which is integral to offshore oil and gas production.
• Advanced Technology: Equipped with state-of-the-art technologies for drilling, production, processing, and storage of hydrocarbons.
• Deepwater Capability: Engineered to operate efficiently in deepwater environments, enhancing its utility in challenging offshore fields like those found in the Bien Dong project.

2. Location and Loyalty:

• Operational Jurisdiction: While the terminal is often associated with operations in Vietnam’s waters (Bien Dong Sea), it was partly fabricated and integrated with advanced systems in Singapore, leveraging Singapore's advanced shipbuilding and offshore technology capabilities.

Specifications:

1. General Characteristics:

• Design Type: FPSO unit.
• Dimensions: Roughly measures 123 meters in length, 66 meters in width, and has a depth of about 12 meters.
• Capacity: Capable of handling large volumes of crude oil and natural gas; commonly stored in dedicated tanks.

2. Production Capabilities:

• Processing Systems: Equipped with sophisticated processing equipment for separating oil, gas, and water.
• Production Rate: Can handle substantial daily production rates of hydrocarbons, typically in the range of thousands of barrels of oil per day (BOPD) depending on operational requirements.

3. Storage:

• Oil Storage: Adequate storage capacity for both stabilized crude oil awaiting offloading and produced gas.
• Capacity Measurement: Storage capacity is typically measured in barrels, with the ability to store several hundred thousand barrels of oil.

4. Safety and Environmental Standards:

• Regulation Compliance: Built to adhere to international safety standards, including those issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
• Environmental Protection: Equipped with systems for managing environmental risks, such as oil spill containment and waste management protocols.

5. Utility Modules:

• Power Generation: Onboard power generation facilities to supply energy for the terminal’s operations.
• Accommodation: Living quarters for crew members, typically featuring both sleeping and recreational facilities.

6. Mobility and Anchoring:

• Mooring System: Uses a sophisticated mooring system to maintain stability and positioning in harsh offshore environments.
• Relocation Capability: Designed for mobility and repositioning to different operational zones as required.

In summary, the PTSC Bien Dong 01 is a complex and highly efficient floating terminal that serves a crucial role in offshore hydrocarbon production. Its construction, which integrates technological inputs from Singapore, represents a blend of advanced engineering, substantial capacity for production and storage, and stringent adherence to safety and environmental standards.
