HANOI — TNK Vietnam, a subsidiary of Russia's third-largest oil producer, TNK-BP, said Tuesday that it had started gas production at the Lan Do field, off Vietnam's coast.
Production began Sunday at the field, 28 kilometers east of Lan Tay Platform in Block 06.1, the company said in a statement.
The production at Lan Do field will help the company sell 2 billion cubic meters of gas annually. TNK-BP, half-owned by BP, acquired a 35 percent stake from BP and became the operator of Block 06.1 in 2011.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
