Total Starts Producing Gas From the Greater Bongkot South Field

Total announced Monday the commencement of production from the Greater Bongkot South field in the Gulf of Thailand. The JV is operated by PTTEP (44.45%), alongside partners Total (33.33%) and BG Group (22.22%).

The field has a processing capacity of 350 million cubic feet of gas and 15,000 barrels of condensate per day.

Production is expected to reach plateau in the second quarter of 2012 and the gas from the project would be exported via a new-build spur line while condensate is exported to a floating, storage and offloading vessel at Bongkot North. Gas would be supplied to Thailand's national energy company PTT Public Company.
