Soco International said first oil and gas from the H5 Wellhead Platform of the Te Giac Trang field has been achieved.
The start of production has been achieved ahead of schedule and the perforation campaign will continue for the next two weeks.
The company said further information will be given in due course but that the current focus was on targeting the optimal balance netween maximising new production from the platform, natural production decline rates and water-cut from the existing wells.
The H5-WHP is located in the south of the TGT field in Block 16-1 in the Cuu Long Basin, off the southern coast of Vietnam, approximately 100 km from Vung Tau and 20 km northwest of the Bach Ho field.
