Petrovietnam/Vietsovpetro inaugurated the BK-24 wellhead platform to welcome the 14th National Party Congress

The BK-24 project belongs to the Bach Ho field development plan, Block 09-1 (adjusted in 2024 - Southwest area), including the BK-24 wellhead platform (uninhabited) and the bridge connecting to the BK-20 platform. The platform is designed with 9 well locations, of which 6 are production wells (1 well converted to water injection) and 3 locations for future development.

The project started on February 6, 2025. The BK-24 superstructure has been completely installed on the base, the main structure has been completed and the connection and sea trial phase has been entered.

At 5:30 p.m. on October 11, 2025, Vietsovpetro officially received the first commercial oil flow from the BK-24 rig with an initial flow of more than 400 tons/day and night at well 24001, 65 days earlier than planned.

To achieve this result, Vietsovpetro proactively started drilling well 24001 early from August 6, 2025 using the Cuu Long jack-up rig. This technical plan requires implementation in a very short time, minimizing design adjustments so as not to affect the project progress. After the Topside BK-24 was installed, the Cuu Long rig quickly arrived from September 19 to October 10, 2025 to complete the well, in parallel with the commissioning work at sea.

The BK-24 platform is the second field development project that Vietsovpetro will complete in 2025, after Kinh Ngu Trang - Kinh Ngu Trang Nam. Receiving oil 65 days earlier than planned not only demonstrates Vietsovpetro's technical, organizational, project management and operational capacity, but also demonstrates the proactive, creative and effective spirit of the Vietnamese - Russian oil and gas labor collective.

In the context of the Oil and Gas industry promoting the effective exploitation of small, marginal fields, the success of BK-24 continues to affirm Vietsovpetro's strength in developing cost-optimized fields, contributing to increasing oil production output, ensuring the completion and exceeding of the 2025 production and business plan, while making an important contribution to the Vietnamese State budget.
