THE NATURAL GAS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN THE JDA
Block A-18
CAKERAWALA GAS DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT
The Cakerawala Gas Field is located offshore in the lower part of the Gulf of Thailand approximately 150 km Northeast to Kota Bharu and 160 km East of Narathiwat in water-depth of about 60 meters in contract area of Block A-18 in the Joint Development Area.
The Cakerawala field development project consists of 6 Wellhead Platforms (CKA, CKB, CKC, BLA, BMA and SYA), Central Processing Platform & Living Quarters (CKP), Riser Platform (CKR) and FSO (Puteri Cakerawala). Committed processed gas at a rate of 790 mmscf/d is delivered to the Buyers' sales pipeline through delivery point located on the riser platform.
The field is developed with the following facilities (as shown in pictures below): |
