Description
- This was the first deepwater project for Shell in Nigeria in a water depth of 3,000 ft located 120 km off coast of the Niger Delta using a FPSO
- The FPSO, measures over 300 metres long, 75 metres wide and 33 metres tall. The Bonga FPSO can extract and process up to 225,000 barrels of oil a day and store up to 2 million barrels of oil. It also has a gas export facility of 150 million standard cubic feet per day
- Bonga North-West is located in approximately 900 to 1,200 meters of water, and has been developed with 12 subsea wells tied back into the Bonga main infrastructure.
- Bonga Phase 3 is an expansion of the Bonga Main development, with peak production expected to be some 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent. This is transported through existing pipelines to the Bonga FPSO
