Chevron Repurposes Wellhead Platform in Gulf of Thailand

Chevron Offshore (Thailand) Ltd has successfully completed its Total Wellhead Platform Reuse project in the Gulf of Thailand, marking a significant milestone in sustainable offshore operations. The company repurposed the topside and jacket from the Benchamas V wellhead platform to create the new Chaba B wellhead platform within the same concession block.

The project received approval from the Department of Mineral Fuels and completed all required inspection and certification processes with relevant authorities. Installation was finished in early July, and production is expected to begin in 2027.

Chevron's president, Chatit Huayhongtong, emphasized the company's focus on practical innovation that improves efficiency, lowers costs, and supports efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He noted that the project avoids around 4,280 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions compared with conventional approaches.
