On September 11, the Vietnam-Russia oil and gas joint venture Vietsovpetro announced that it had successfully installed the topside of the BK-23 oil and gas platform offshore Vung Tau. This topside weighs 760 tons.
It is noteworthy that the installation of the above mechanical components was carried out under weather conditions at sea affected by super typhoon Yagi.
To install this superstructure, Vietsovpetro mobilized more than 130 engineers, workers and many special vehicles, including the Hoang Sa crane ship.
This installation is carried out continuously by crews with 3 shifts/day.

Vietsovpetro also successfully installed a bridge connecting the BK-23 platform with the adjacent BK-14 platform. After the installation and connection are completed, the BK-23 platform will soon produce its first oil flow, ahead of schedule.
It is known that the BK-23 platform is an unmanned light platform, designed, manufactured and installed by the Vietnam - Russia Joint Venture Vietsovpetro, located at Bach Ho field, on the continental shelf of Vietnam. Bach Ho field is about 145km from Vung Tau.
