Description
- The West Bukha volatile oil field was developed with a 6 slot unmanned platform and came onto production in 2009. On a daily basis, the West Bukha production is currently averaging 8,000 barrels of oil as well as 27 million cubic feet of dry gas, also processed at the onshore gas processing plant.
- Production is flowing from two wells (West Bukha-2 and West Bukha-3), with the objective to further increase production through two additional wells, West Bukha-4 and West Bukha-5, both to become operational this year.
- Production is tied through a sub-sea 12-inch multiphase flow line to the nearby Bukha production platform
