Description
- Total’s first deepwater development in Nigeria
- Located 200 kilometers offshore Nigeria, lying in water depths of 1,300 to 1,500 meters.
- Its proved and probable reserves are estimated at 620 million barrels of condensate and more than 28 billion cubic meters of gas.
- Its subsea production system comprises 44 wells — 22 producers, 20 water injectors and two gas injectors — 100 kilometers of subsea flowlines, 80 kilometers of umbilicals to manage and control production, and 14 risers tying the subsea network into the AKPO FPSO.
- The 310-meter-long, 61-meter-wide and 31-meter-high FPSO is moored by 12 anchor lines and weighs nearly 100,000 metric tons. It is designed to process 185,000 barrels of condensate and 15 million cubic meters of gas a day and to store up to two million barrels of condensate.
- Gas is piped 150 kilometers to the Amenam Kpono Oil Field platforms, from where it is sent to the Nigeria LNG Terminal
Contractors
- Technip: Contract for the FPSO
- Saipem: engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of the Umbilicals, Flowlines, Risers, the oil loading terminal, the FPSO mooring system, and the Gas export Pipeline
