Chevron stops production at Thai oil field after fatal explosion

Mar. 20, 2023
 

Chevron (NYSE:CVX) said Monday it has suspended production at the Benchamas oil field in the Gulf of Thailand following an accident last week at an oil storage vessel that caused seawater to leak into the vessel's hull, killing one crew member.

 

Thai government agencies are on alert for a potential oil spill from the floating storage and offloading vessel.

 

The FSO, which for more than four years has been operating at the Benchamas field, had ~400K barrels of oil on board at the time of the incident.

Offshore safety is really poor here and it starts with the poor standard of safety training the guys get before going offshore, and continues with a poor safety culture while onboard. 

 

One of the safety training officers on one of the tender drilling rigs in the Gulf of Thailand was dismissed from his last company onshore for issuing certificates to clients without the guys actually attending the training. 

 

Let's hope this incident does not result in a hydrocarbon release.

 

Damage to the guy, his family and company reputation already done though and it is always preventable.
