The Viet Nam-Russia Oil and Gas Joint Venture (Vietsovpetro) on May 15 completed refurbishing a central liquids processing platform that is used to separate gases after the drilling process.

The 400-tonne facility, built by a Vietsovpetro affiliate, the Construction and Installation Company, has been ordered by the Viet Nam-Japan Petroleum Co. Ltd (JVPC), and will be transported to the Rang Dong offshore oilfield in the southern coastal province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau.

JVPC and Vietsovpetro initially began to cooperate in 1997 and to date seven platforms have been manufactured by the two companies.

The Construction and Installation Company has so far manufactured and successfully installed dozens of high-end rigs, including the N1, S1 and E1 oil drilling platforms in the Rang Dong oilfield, the Sutuden platform in the Su Tu Den (Black Lion) oilfield, and the Ruby-A, Ruby-B platforms for Malaysia-based Petronas.
