Unocal Thailand Limited brought Platong Oil CPP2 online safely and on schedule, the company revealed in a release, marking a major milestone for the project’s goal of significantly increasing Unocal’s current crude oil production in the Gulf of Thailand by the third quarter 2005.
The Platong Oil CPP2 is the largest central processing platform ever constructed in Thailand. The CPP was successfully installed at the Platong complex in March after a 13-month construction duration.
With the timely platform installation and successful start up on schedule, we are on track to achieve our target of ramping up gross crude oil production to 40,000 barrels per day (b/d) by the third quarter this year, from the current level of 24,000 b/d gross, said Tara Tiradnakorn, Unocal Thailand president.
