Description
- The development consists of four fields, Cravo, Lirio, Orquidea and Violeta
- These fields are located in Block 17 offshore Angola in water depths of 1,100 to 1,400 m
- The project comprises 34 wells and 8 manifolds connected by 180 km of subsea pipelines to the Clov FPSO unit
- The gas produced on CLOV will be exported via a subsea line to the onshore Angola Soyo LNG Terminal liquefaction plant
