Abstract

In 1986, after nearly 5 years of exploration, Vietsovpetro successfully produced its first crude oil from the Bach Ho field, located in Block 09-1 of the Cuu Long basin on the Vietnamese continental shelf. This milestone marked a historic breakthrough for Vietnam’s petroleum industry, positioning the country among the oil-producing and exporting nations and laying the foundation for the development of the modern Vietnamese oil and gas sector.
In 1995, Vietsovpetro achieved another significant milestone by pioneering the gathering, treatment, and onshore transportation of associated gas through innovative technological solutions and engineering improvements, despite limited offshore infrastructure at the time. This initiative marked the second major leap in Vietnam’s petroleum industry and served as the technological and operational foundation for the subsequent establishment and growth of the Petrovietnam Gas Joint Stock Corporation (PV GAS).
This article presents the key technical highlights of a cluster of projects on associated gas gathering and utilization implemented by Vietsovpetro at offshore fields in Block 09-1 and adjacent offshore fields.
