Malampaya platform eyed as prison



Picture this: a prison island in the middle of the West Philippine Sea.
This is one of the proposals made at the House of Representatives concerning what to do with the Malampaya offshore facility in Palawan once its supply of natural gas runs out.

LPGMA party-list Rep. Arnel Ty, a member of the House energy committee, yesterday proposed converting the Malampaya platforms, located some 80 kilometers off northwest Palawan, into a high-security prison island à la Alcatraz.
Although the Malampaya field is seen to remain productive for a few more years, the wells “are bound to dry up, be plugged and abandoned, along with the platforms,” said Ty, who proposed a number of other ways that the government could make use of the facility once it is decommissioned.

“The Bureau of Corrections can opt to transform the platforms into a high-security prison,” he said, noting how terribly overcrowded the country’s jails are, including the 8,700-capacity New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City, which has more than 22,000 inmates.

Described by its operators as an “island of steel and concrete,” the Malampaya facility is composed of two large adjacent structures with wells to extract natural gas and oil from undersea reservoirs.
“The platforms are built to withstand typhoons and earthquakes. One of the rigs can house 60 workers and has a helipad,” Ty said.

But he did not explain or provide details on how many prisoners could be accommodated once the platforms are turned into jails, and how their safety could be
ensured.

At present, because of safety reasons, only 59 people—who are transported by helicopter—are allowed on one of the Malampaya platforms at any given time, according to a GMA 7 documentary by Sandra Aguinaldo titled “Islang Bakal” in 2014.

It was explained that the number of people allowed on to a platform was limited to 59 because only this number of people could be evacuated by lifeboat.

Malampaya derives natural gas from the Camago-Malampaya reservoir, a gigantic reserve of natural gas discovered in 1992 by Shell Philippines Exploration B.V.

The Malampaya wells tap into 2.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves located some 3,000 meters below sea level, according to the Malampaya project’s website.

when duterte comes in, there is no need for a high security...capital crimes will only need a rope...and basically all others will be general population...

Not enough space. ug giunsa na pag huna huna mu spend silag Minilyon para lng himoon nang presohan? it needs regular maintenence, ang source of power nila Generator, pila ka toneladang gasolina mahurot sa usa kaadlaw dagan sa Generator. pagkaon ug tubig sa mga Prison guard ug mga piniriso ipaagi pag Supply boat mugastos nasab, Helocopter.. ay soooooows

unya mga High profile prisoners ray ibutang, gastusan pa? maypag pakaon na nilas isda ng mga Pinireso manambok pang isda.

kinsa may mu maintain sa structure ana? every 5 yrs i drydock. ibalhin nasag Laing penal colony ang mga inmates. kay ug dili na imaintain after 5 yrs, ang structure ana mura nag Toothpick nga mga bali.

bilib kos nka huna huna ani nga idea

diin kaha na gikan ng ideaha? mga utok intawn, maguwang ra gamay sa Unggoy

Pinaka bugo nga idea jud intawn.

I don't have any idea kung nag directional drilling ba ning malampaya, which means they can drill at any directions even horizontal of kilometers para daku ug coverage. I also wonder ngano platform jud ni ilang gbuhat, pwede ra unta other types of rig (jack-up) yet they made it stationary type. Nga since abundant man kaha na nga area ng palawan ug oil.

Less budget will be given to BOC at that time... Less convicts assigned at the Maximum Security Prison.

Maorag makasabot unta ko kung taga bureau of corrections ni si Ty,
pero sa house of energy committee ma kaha ni siya, maorag mouyon pa ko kung himoon na nga platform sa windmills para maangayan pud unta ang nag-propose.

[lstorya]

Someone seriously thought og this idea? Seriously? Giunsa kaha niya ni pag come up no? Wala sila gahuna huna sa maintenance na lang daan. They do know its a rig far away from land right? Wala man gani na maintenance nang bilibid nga naa ra na sa Manila. Walaon na lang unta ning mga party list oi kay ga breed ra man na sila og mga bugo, gasamok samok sa katilingban.

[salbahis]

why not refloat this again and tow it to KIG para maoy himoong outpost sa atoang mga marines..
