The Kinh Ngu Trang - Kinh Ngu Trang Nam Field Development Project (KNT-KTN), located in Block 09-2/09, has completed ahead of schedule, ensuring quality and making practical contributions to the goal of increasing output and ensuring national energy security.
The project is operated by the Vietsovpetro Joint Venture, with the participation of the Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Corporation (PVEP) and AO Zarubezhneft.
The scope of work includes the construction of the CPP-KNT central platform, the WHP-KTN light platform; installation of intra-field and inter-field pipelines and underground cables; and conversion of items at MSP-10, MSP-9 and BK-15 platforms. This is a large-scale, technically complex mine development project, including many bid packages requiring high technical standards.
After more than 33 months of implementation, from detailed design, procurement and construction under many difficult conditions, especially the Covid-19 pandemic, the project was completed ahead of schedule and met strict safety and technical standards.
Vietsovpetro's acceptance council directly accepted the rigs: MSP-10 on July 4, 2025; CPP-KNT and WHP-KTN on July 11, 2025. The assessment results showed that the systems are ready, ensuring safety for commercial operation.
Up to the time of First Oil, the project has recorded more than 6.6 million hours of absolutely safe work, without any accidents or incidents - an outstanding achievement, demonstrating the professionalism, discipline and high sense of responsibility of Vietsovpetro workers.
In the context of declining production output at Block 09-1 and neighboring areas, putting the Kinh Ngu Trang - Kinh Ngu Trang Nam project into commercial exploitation on schedule will not only help Vietsovpetro maintain and increase production output to over 3 million tons/year, but also contribute to ensuring energy security and affirming national sovereignty at sea through strategic oil and gas cooperation in the Cuu Long and Nam Con Son basins.
The first oil stream from the KNT-KTN rig also clearly demonstrates the technological mastery and the spirit of solidarity and creativity of the oil and gas workers, which has strategic significance in effectively exploiting the oil and gas potential in the important southern sea area.
