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.

CABLE TRAYS / LADDERS

Main Cable Ladders and perforated Cable trays shall be of heavy duty type SS 316L with 1.5
mm thickness as a minimum.
Tray / Ladder size shall be selected based on the number of cables and shall have enough
strength to bear the cable load. The thickness of cable tray / ladders shall be selected
depending on the load on the tray.

Internal widths of ladders shall be 150, 300, 450, 600 or 900mm unless specified otherwise.
For perforated cable trays the widths shall range from 50 to 300 mm. All Cable trays shall be
with cover and fastened by suitable nuts and bolts.
All cable trays/ ladders shall be treated for Humidity and test shall be as specified in IEC
61537. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) shall be such that in normal use all items shall
be passive with respect to electromagnetic immunity and emission. The cable tray/ ladder
interior and exterior surfaces shall be free from sharp edges and other projections, which
could cause damage to cables. Perforation base area classification for trays shall be Class B
as per IEC 61537), unless specified otherwise.
All sections of metallic cable runway shall be bonded together between sections and have
equipotential bonding. Bonding jumpers shall be stranded insulated copper wire of 6 sq. mm
