On 24 September 2012, Her Royal Highness Princess (HRH) Maha
Chakri Sirindhorn graciously paid a royal visit to Greater
Bongkot South (GBS) platform in the Gulf of Thailand.
The visit was arranged for HRH to grand opening and overview

Energy and Chairman of PTTEP Dr. Norkun Sitthiphong,
President and CEO of PTT Mr. Pailin Chuchottaworn and
President and CEO of PTTEP Mr. Tevin Vongvanich.
GBS is a major natural gas field in Bongkot Project in the
Gulf of Thailand. It is located in Navamindra Petroleum Area,
about 200 kilometers off the coast of Songkhla
province. PTTEP has executed the whole operation
starting from conducting the exploration program, supervising
the design of platforms, developing the petroleum field. Up
to now, PTTEP can conduct the operation of this field by
itself. GBS consists of Central Processing Platform, Living
Quarters Platform and 6 Wellhead Platforms.
GBS has been developed since 2008. Later, the facility
construction was completed. The test run of processing
facility started in March this year. GBS produces
natural gas at 320 MMSCFD as per the Daily Contractual
Quantity (DCQ) since 15 June 2012.
Its processing production platform has a capacity of 380
MMSCFD of natural gas and 18,000 BPD of condensate.
These production rates will increase overall both Bongkot
North and Bongkot South production capacity to approximately
1,000 MMSCFD which signify 20% of Thailand natural gas
production. It is part of PTTEP's mission in providing
sustainable energy for Thais.
PTTEP's safety and environmental standards has been strictly
applied in every operation including GBS. It is not only
environmental friendly operation but also safe one. The
platform was designed with safety in mind, coupled with the
use of modern technology that increases the efficiency of the
field.
The field is operated by PTTEP with 44.4445% interest. The
remaining stakes are owned by Total E&P Thailand Company
Limited (33.3333%) and BG Asia Pacific Pte. Limited
(22.2222%).
