SK Earthon, the exploration and production (E&P) of SK Innovation, is set to ramp up commercial oil production at the Lac Da Vang (Golden Camel) field, in Vietnam\u2019s Block 15-1\/05, starting next year, significantly boosting oil output in the region<\/span><\/p>\n

SK Earthon has been actively engaged in Vietnam’s energy resource development since 1998, beginning with an equity investment in Block 15-1. The company now holds stakes in four oil blocks: it serves as a partner in Block 15-1\/05 and Block 15-2\/17, while operating Block 16-2. Currently, Block 15-1 is the only active production block, generating crude oil since 2003. However, production is set to expand further in late 2026 with the commencement of oil extraction at the Golden Camel field within Block 15-1\/05, marking a major milestone in SK Earthon’s Vietnam operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Golden Camel production platform, located 70 kilometers southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, is undergoing final construction phases. The jacket (base structure) is scheduled for completion by July, while the topside (processing and drilling facilities) will be completed by August 2026. With an investment of approximately KRW 400 billion, this platform will serve as a key offshore production base until 2039.<\/span><\/p>\n

SK Earthon\u2019s Vietnam operations have seen remarkable progress, marked by consecutive oil discoveries. In April this year, oil was discovered at the Lac Da Hong (Pink Camel) field adjacent to Golden Camel, following another successful discovery in January at the Hai Su Vang (Golden Sea Lion) field in Block 15-2\/17. These fields, along with the oil-rich Block 16-2 discovered in November 2023, are strategically located in Vietnam\u2019s Cuu Long Basin, known for its high-quality crude reserves. The proximity of these blocks enhances the company\u2019s clustering strategy, enabling faster commercialization and improved operational efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n
