International energy services business, Production Services Network (PSN), has nabbed a four-year, multi-million deal, extending an existing contract with the Korean National Oil Corporation (KNOC) to supply operation and maintenance (O&M) services.
KNOC has offered the corporation two contract extensions, of two years apiece, to supply both KNOC’s Rong Doi and Rong Doi Tay gas platforms in Vietman with O&M services including a Wellhead Platform bridge linked to Production Utilities Quarters Compression Platform and associated pipelines.
While the current offer is for four years all up, there is potential to extend PSN’s O&M support for a further sixteen years, according to the company.
Rong Doi is located 320km off the coast of Vietnam, and is KNOC’s first offshore production facility outside of Korea, supported by a predominantly local PSN team.
PSN operations director — Asia Pacific, Alan Gordon, said PSN and KNOC are working well together.
“We have established an excellent working relationship with KNOC and worked hard to develop our Vietnamese workforce; a further example of PSN’s localisation strategy,” he said.
“Vietnam has a great deal of potential for offshore production and we have already been involved in further engineering and feasibility projects with KNOC. As a result, we are confident of growing our business in this important territory.”
KNOC Vietnam general director, Dr Se Jin Park, said: “PSN supported us well through the set-up phase of Rong Doi, therefore we have taken up two further two-year contract extension options. This is testament to the firm’s record of delivery, safety and quality, supporting our business in Vietnam.”
