Oil and gas field tie-in has been the main trend in Vietnam, in order to take advantage of the existing physical infrastructure of large fields to connect and develop small marginal oil fields. This method allows to increase the economic efficiency of fields with medium and large fields, opening up development prospects and bringing small and limited oil fields into exploitation soon. Oil and gas field tie-in has many different challenges in terms of technical and economic aspects, the ability to connect, collect, the degree of technological system improvement to receive and distribute products... For the case connecting fields to the technology system of other owners, the issue of product allocation is important related to the direct interests of investors. The authors analyze some of the distribution models that are used in Vietsovpetro JV, taking into account the specifics of each connection case. The back distribution link model allows to determine the proportion of oil distributed between oil sources, with results agreed by the stakeholders. The use of simulation models is also a highly reliable oil and gas distribution method. The use of empirical formulas allows for a quick technical assessment of the change in the amount of liquid in the system during various technological processes.
