Dear Readers,

2012 is the year of Dragon which is tradi-tionally characterized by luck, strength and prosperity. However as it turns out, 2012 is a tumultuous year to Vietnam’s economy: the property market was frozen, stock prices dipped sharply to some of the lowest levels ever and the banking industry expe-rienced unexpected turbulence. The future is indeed never certain.

If there is any lesson learned from these difficult time, we believe it is a realization that quick money does not last and long-term successes do require skill, hard work and resilience even though lucks certainly have some says. At PTSC M&C, 2012 is the year full of events to us: we were negatively affected by the economic slow-down; the delay of few of our important forecasted projects forced us to downsize our work-force, an unforgettable and painful experi-ence to our management and employees. On the bright side, the solid foundation in terms of experience and competency built through years of hard-work and dedication has helped us navigate through the rough water. In 2012 we successfully offshore installed and handed over three strategi-cally important projects to our clients, among them is the prestigious and national Bien Dong 1 Central Processing Platform. Financially in 2012 we recorded the highest revenue and profit figures since the compa-ny was founded and PTSC M&C was ranked 67th amongst 500 largest enterprises, up 38 positions compared to 2011.

Our sphere of action in 2013 is to continue to maintain the focus on providing cutting-edge EPCI/EPCIC services for oil and gas offshore projects. In addition, on the front lines, we will keep boosting our response to the regional markets by collaborating with leading clients and partners in such countries as Australia, India, Myanmar, Malaysia and some other countries in the region.

”In 2012 we successfully off-shore installed and handed over three strategically impor-tant projects to our clients”

We also understand that no one is success-ful on his own, the achievements and mile-stones we have completed today would not be possible without the cooperation, support and understanding from Clients, partners, related parties and friends. Man-agement and employees of PTSC M&C would like to express our deepest thanks and appreciation to all of you, we wish you a new year ahead full of successes, good health and lucks.

Finally, we hope you enjoy this newsletter. Your feedback or comments, as always, are appreciated.

In October 2012, PQP Topsides – the most technically complicated and vital part of the Bien Dong 1 Project left PTSC M&C’s fabrica-tion yard and en route to its loca-tion offshore Vietnam, marking an important milestone for the Project after a 2-year marathon journey.

The Bien Dong 1 (BD1) Project is an EPCI turnkey project awarded to PTSC M&C by Bien Dong Petroleum Operating Company (Bien Dong POC). This is the first and biggest offshore project ever performed by a Vietnamese local contractor, opening up new ho-rizons for the Vietnam oil & gas

construction industry in the future as well as proving the capability in provision of EPCI services of Viet-namese local contractors.

To acknowledge and honor the contribution of company employ-ees to the successful completion of the fabrication and pre-com-missioning work for the PQP-HT Topside, during the period of two (02) days from 13th to 14th Octo-ber 2012, PTSC M&C celebrated a team building event at Vung Tau City. At this momentous event, those individuals who have ex-celled themselves in the “Run-To-Target” campaign launched by the company were awarded for their

outstanding services extended to the BD1 Project.

As at October 2012, the offshore installation campaign of the PQP-HT Topsides was also successfully completed by float-over operation. Statistically, the BD1 Project has achieved more than 10,274,209 man-hours without any lost time injuries, which is a lively testimony of the coordinated effort made by Bien Dong POC and PTSC M&C.

The scope of work of the whole BD1 Project encompasses the engineering, procurement, con-struction, installation, offshore hook-up support for 01 Central

Processing Platform (PQP-HT) (including a 70-person-on-board living quarter); 02 Wellhead Plat-forms namely Hai Thach 1 (HT1) and Moc Tinh 1 (MT1), 03 jackets (PQP-HT, WHP-MT1 and WHP-HT1); 01 Link Bridge of which the total weight of facilities is approxi-mately 60,000MT coupled with 70km pipelines and 21km subsea cables. So far, this project has been considered as one of the most technically complicated offshore projects in Vietnam.

The celebration is, more importantly, an in-dicator of the commitment shown by PTSC M&C so far in delivering this project safely.

The achievement of 1 million man-hours was built upon the strong foundation of professionalism and support of Thang Long JOC’s, PTSC M&C’s management and workforce. This reinforces the strong relationship that exists between these two companies and sets in place a founda-tion to grow and develop this cooperation spirit.

On 7th September 2012, Thang Long JOC and PTSC M&C celebrated the Health Safety and Environment Day to acknowledge the turning point of Hai Su Trang/Hai Su Den project upon achieving the target of 1 million man-hours without any LTI.

SU TU TRANG PROJECT OBTAINED ITS FIRST GAS AHEAD OF SCHEDULEOn 15th November 2012, at PetroVietnam Head Office in Ha Noi City, Cuu Long Joint Operating Company celebrated the First Gas Ceremony of the Su Tu Trang Project in block 15-1, offshore Vietnam.

Having attended the ceremony were there representatives of the Government Office, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Planning and Investment, Petro-Vietnam, PetroVietnam Explora-tion and Production Corporation (PVEP) CLJOC’s partners, PTSC Mechanical and Construction (PTSC M&C) as well as other subcontractors.

Till date, the offshore installation campaign for Hai Su Trang and Hai Su Den Jackets and Pipelines was completed. In addition, the pre-commissioning and commission-ing work for Hai Su Trang and Hai Su Den Topsides was initiated and scheduled for completion in March 2013. PTSC M&C is in the process of doing the T&I engineering for two topsides supporting the installation campaign commencement in March 2013. Simultaneously, all procedure/ equipment for Hook-up and Commissioning (HUC) work is being prepared, ready for HUC schedule in April 2013.

in September 1998, exploration and production activities in the Block 15.1 have been implemented efficiently with 230 million barrels of oil and 684 million cubic meters of gas produced so far.

Su Tu Trang is amongst four discov-eries of Cuu Long JOC under the Petroleum Contract in block 15.1. In March 2010, the EPCI contract to build Su Tu Trang Wellhead Platform was awarded to PTSC M&C as a prime EPCI contractor. Although Su Tu Trang is not a challenging project in terms of schedule, it is however an EPCI project that required high technical standards and stringent construction requirements. In order to preserve the quality and schedule of the Project, PTSC M&C utilized existing fabrication yards, took ad-vantages of advanced technology as well as mobilized a strong resource of 750 workers and engineers who dedicated their utmost efforts to

contribute to the successful comple-tion of the project, achieving approx. 2,300,000 man-hours without any lost time injury.

At the First Gas Ceremony, Mr. Franck Poli, President of Perenco Company, a partner of Cuu Long JOC emphasized that the success of the Su Tu Trang Project could be measured by the skills and dedica-tion of the CLJOC employees and Partners’ seconded personnel in CLJOC, and the contribution and support of all stakeholders including the Government of Vietnam, Min-istries, PetroVietnam, Partners, the EPCI prime contractor PTSC M&C as well as other subcontractors and suppliers. He also believed that the Su Tu Trang Long Term Production Test (LTPT) program could provide assurance of commercial quantities of hydrocarbons that could be de-veloped to supplement the national energy demand.

Rong Doi Booster Compressor is one of the projects developed by Korean National Oil Corporation (KNOC) to upgradeits ex-isting platform in block 11-2located 320km offshore Vietnam.

PTSC M&C was subcontracted by its sister company – PTSC Offshore Services (PTSC OS) the scope of de-tailed engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the Discharge Cooler and Booster Compressor systemweighing approximately 600 tons. The key functions of these sys-tems lie in their capability to enhance the pressure in gas pipeline from Rong Doi Well Head Platform to Nam Con Son Gas Pipeline.

The team formed by KNOC, PTSC OS, PTSC M&C and other subcon-tractors worked with the cooperative
