Description

• This field is located approximately 60 km north of Exmouth, off the Western Australian coast, in water depths ranging from 350 to 420 m.
• The Vincent oil field development consists of subsea wells tied back to processing facilities on the Ngujima-Yin FPSO
• Artificial lift is provided via a multiphase pump (MPP) system located on the seabed
• Once separated from gas and water, crude oil is exported from the FPSO onto trading tankers. During normal operations, gas and produced water is re-injected into field reservoirs.
