Description
- The Okume Complex is comprised of the Okume, Oveng, Ebano and Elon fields which have been developed using a combination of two tension leg platforms and four fixed platforms.
- Production from the fields is gathered at a central processing facility (CPF) located at the shallow water Elon field. From there, a fifteen mile subsea pipeline connects the CPF to the Sendje Ceiba floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) for storage and offloading of crude production
- Hess Corporation decided to tie-in the wells to the Sendje Ceiba FPSO located at the Ceiba Oil Field
- The Akom field is a single well subsea tie-back system to the existing tension leg platform
