COMPLETED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE THE ANNUAL SHUTDOWN ON FPSO PTSC LAM SON
From October 3 to October 5, 2024, PPS Company successfully implemented the Annual Shutdown (ASD 2024) campaign for the FPSO PTSC Lam Son, completing all 61 tasks and finishing 7.5 hours ahead of schedule.
To ensure the completion of a huge volume of work in a short time, 120 personnel have been mobilized, helping to shorten the downtime of not only the FPSO PTSC Lam Son but also the Thang Long – Dong Do field. Throughout the maintenance and repair process, both offshore and onshore teams closely coordinated to ensure that all work was carried out safely, with high quality, and on schedule. This effort has not only demonstrated team spirit but also has contributed to enhancing the operational efficiency of the system.
The ASD 2024 campaign for the FPSO PTSC Lam Son completed all 61 tasks, including several challenging jobs that required extensive collaboration among multiple parties. Key tasks included 10-year maintenance for the UPS-A system, maintenance of the ICSS system, maintenance of the flare system, as well as cleaning and inspecting the internals of technology separators on the topsides (HP/LP/MP Separator, Electrostatic Coalescer, etc.).
During the ASD campaign for the FPSO PTSC Lam Son, PPS also conducted 4000 hours of maintenance for the GTG-A and GTG-B. With a proactive, urgent, and innovative working spirit, the PPS team completed the maintenance of the two generators, significantly reducing the usual maintenance time. This timely action facilitated the restart of the system and the overall operation of the field. The dedicated efforts of the PPS personnel not only optimized equipment runtime and enhanced system reliability but also contributed to reducing downtime of the field, allowing the floating storage facility and wellhead platforms to resume operations sooner.
With a proactive, positive, and creative working approach, PPS completed the ASD 2024 campaign for the FPSO PTSC Lam Son safely, ahead of schedule, with no accidents or incidents affecting personnel, the environment, or equipment.
By 10:30 PM on October 5, 2024, the FPSO PTSC Lam Son was ready to receive the oil and gas flow from the Thang Long – Dong Do field, marking the successful completion of the ASD 2024 campaign.
The year 2024 also marks the 10th anniversary of the operational activities of the Thang Long – Dong Do field and the FPSO PTSC Lam Son. As it enters its 10th year, the FPSO PTSC Lam Son continues to strengthen its role in oil and gas exploration and production, contributing to the prosperity of the nation.
