Arthit
Arthit is a fixed offshore gas-and-condensate complex in the Gulf of Thailand. First production began in March 2008. Located about 230 kilometres offshore Songkhla in approximately 80 metres of water, it centres on the Arthit Central Processing Platform, connected to fixed wellhead, accommodation and flare structures. Gas is pipeline-exported through Erawan; condensate is transferred separately to Bongkot FSO2.

Field
The field lies on the north-western margin of the North Malay Basin. Gas and condensate occur in numerous small, fault-compartmentalised sandstone reservoirs within a Cenozoic clastic succession. Geological studies describe fluvial, deltaic and marginal-marine depositional settings. The broad accumulation is developed through numerous platform-drilled wells and fixed wellhead structures feeding one central processing complex.
Facilities
Arthit is developed with numerous platform-drilled production wells on fixed wellhead platforms linked by subsea gathering lines to the Arthit Central Processing Platform. The initial development tied six wellhead platforms to the central facility, and the architecture was designed for modular expansion. The processing installation is paired with the Arthit Quarters Platform and a separate flare structure. The central platform receives and processes combined gas-condensate wellstreams. Documented permanent functions include phase separation, condensate handling, gas processing and export metering. Its integrated topsides weigh approximately 17,000 tonnes and were installed by float-over on a fixed jacket. Accommodation and major utilities are concentrated beside the processing platform, while the satellite wellhead structures primarily support drilling, wellheads and production gathering. Supporting equipment includes electrical generation, chemical injection, process control, emergency shutdown, fire-and-gas detection, firewater and flare systems. Sales gas leaves through the 42-inch Arthit–Erawan gas pipeline, approximately 200 kilometres long, to the Erawan Riser Platform. From Erawan it enters Thailand’s established offshore trunkline system for delivery to shore. Condensate follows a separate 8-inch pipeline approximately 30 kilometres long to Bongkot FSO2, where it is stored and loaded to export tankers. Arthit therefore has no dedicated offshore liquid-storage vessel or direct tanker-loading installation at the processing complex.
