Thien Ung field is located in the middle part of Block 04-3 in the Nam Con Son Basin,
offshore the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, approximately 15 km of Dai Hung field, and
approximately 270 km southeast of Vung Tau. The Block 04-3 covers an area of
approximately 2600 km2. The Thien Ung field is including its 2 structural parts. Thien Ung
structure discovery was made in 2004 with the 04-3-TU-1X well. Two subsequent
appraisal wells (04.3-TU-2X and 04.3-TU-3X), drilled and tested respectively, delineated
the field.
Location of Thien Ung field is shown in Figure 1.1 below.
