Field and context
Bach Ho, or White Tiger, is a giant oil field east of the Mekong Delta in the Vietnamese sector of the East Sea. Its principal reservoir is highly fractured Jurassic–Cretaceous granitic and granodioritic basement forming a buried horst. Secondary production occurs from Oligocene and Miocene sandstones. Upper Oligocene lacustrine shales provide the main source rocks and regional sealing section. Development uses a dense, multi-platform fixed-facility network.
