1.1
Background
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.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE AND HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATION
4.1
Operational safety and reliability

The design of the electrical installation shall be based on the provision of a safe and
reliable supply of electricity at all times. Safe conditions shall be ensured under all
operating conditions, including those associated with start-up and shutdown of plant and
equipment, and throughout the intervening shutdown periods. The design of electrical
systems and equipment shall ensure that all operating and maintenance activities can be
performed safely. Provisions for alternative supply sources and supply routes, spare/standby capacity and automatic restarting schemes are required.
4.2
Standardization of Equipment and Materials

Equipment of similar nature, identical components and construction should be of the same
manufacturer. This applies to HV switchgear, LV Switchboard, MCC, transformers, power
and convenience outlets and luminaries, local control station, battery and safety switch.
Standardization of materials and equipment shall be aimed for and compatible with rational
design. Equipment which will become obsolete in the near future shall not be selected.
4.3
Maintainability and Accessibility

Electrical facilities shall be designed, constructed and installed so that components of the
facilities are accessible for maintenance and capable of being repaired and replaced.

DOC NO.
REV. NO.

Page 14 of 47
4.4
Protection against Explosion and Fire Hazard

Hazardous area classification drawings and document prepared by the Process Safety
Discipline. This shall be used as the basis for the proper selection of electrical equipment
and installations.
Electrical equipment should, as far as practical and economic, be located in the least
hazardous areas. Electrical equipment installed in hazardous area shall have a type of
protection suitable for the relevant zones and specified in accordance with IEC 60079.
Electrical equipment installed in indoor, non-hazardous areas within process areas shall be
of a standard industrial type as specified in the relevant equipment design requirements.
Although many types of protection are available, the following shall be used in the final
selection:
- For Zone 1, LV motors and all inherently non-sparking equipment, e.g., junction boxes
and luminaires, shall have type of protection d, de or 'e'. HV motors and all inherently
sparking equipment, e.g., switchgear and controlgear, shall have type of protection 'd' or
de. Where such type of protection is not available, e.g., large high speed HV motors, type
of protection 'p' shall be used. HV motors with type of protection 'e' shall not be used in
zone 1 area.
- For Zone 2, motors and inherently non-sparking equipment shall have type of protection
'n', all equipment approved for Zone 1 is also acceptable. Inherently sparking equipment
shall have type of protection 'd', de or 'p', as stated for Zone 1.
For a process plant/ unit having Zone 2 hazardous area, outdoor non-hazardous area
within its extent, Zone 2 equipment shall be installed to cater possibility of reclassification,
interchange-ability of equipment and their spares. These criteria shall be applicable to
equipment like motors, lighting fixtures, remote control units and welding and convenience
sockets.
Equipment installed in non-hazardous areas such as within living quarters shall be
standard-industrial type/ domestic type depending upon type of installation and/ or
application.
For the installation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas, IEC 60079-14 shall be
complied with and shall be certified by the approved authorities such as Baseefa in UK,
PTB in Germany, LCIE in France, CSI in Italy, UL and FM in USA, CSA in Canada.
All hazardous area equipment shall be indexed against area classification, certification,
and required maintenance to maintain certification validity. Copies of all hazardous area
certificates or certificate of conformity shall be provided for all electrical/ electronic
hazardous area equipment, in the English language.
4.5
Certificates, Declarations and Test Reports

For all major equipment, shall be obtained at least the Manufacturers test reports in
accordance with the equipment design requirements, e.g., for generators, motors, HV and LV
switchgear, UPS equipment and transformers.
Further certificates or declarations relating to the application of equipment for use in
hazardous areas may be required by local authorities, according to the following rules:
a) For electrical apparatus in Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas, a certificate of conformity
shall be obtained from the Manufacturer/Supplier.
b) For electrical apparatus in Zone 2 areas, which has type of protection n, a declaration of
compliance may be accepted instead of a certificate of conformity.
