Project Profile
Value: US$75 million
Location: OML 67, offshore south east Nigeria
Proven and probable reserve estimate: 182 million barrels
Peak Production: 50,000 bpd
Water Depth: 41 metres
The Ebok is an undeveloped offshore oil field located in 41 metres of water (135 ft). The field was discovered by the ExxonMobil/NNPC JV in 1968 (M-QQ1 (Ebok-1)), and two subsequent appraisal wells were drilled in 1970 (Ebok-2 and Ebok-3). The field has a proven and probable reserve estimate of 182 million bbl.
Phase one involves a single Wellhead Support Structure (WSS) tied back to a MOPU. The facility will have capacity to handle oil production of 50,000 bpd and will be tied back to a FSO vessel spread moored nearby.
Phase two will see the installation of a separate dedicated wellhead platform and the drilling of up to six production wells tied back to the central MOPU and FSO facilities. The MOPU and FSO will become a central facility for the broader Ebok/Okwok/OML 115 area, allowing for the economical and rapid tie-back of production from future developments. The workscope on the first phase of the development includes six production wells and one water injector targeting proven and probable reserves of 53 million barrels. The development phase 1b will target upside in D2 Southern Lobe made up of three wells and focusing on upside potential of 99 million barrels. Second phase will incorporate full development of D/1 reservoir and fault block west whilst appraising potential within respective West Flank Iboe structure and Fault Block North that contain 45 million and 9 million barrels recoverable reserves.
