Project Profile
Value: US$8,000 million
Start-up Year: 2012
Water Depth: 990m
Upstream Oil Reserves: 510 million bbl
Location: OPL 222, offshore Nigeria
The project will involve a tie-back of six widely separated fields to an FPSO. The development plan is thought to involve the FPSO being located between Plutonio/Cobalto and Galio/Cromio fields with Platina and Paladio tied in as satellites. The base case scenario is also thought to include combination of steel caternary risers combined with single line offset risers.
The subsea contract may cover 40 subsea trees, may be phased. FPSO design is likely to be similar in design to Dalia FPSO, which is spread moored and will have a peak production of 225,000 b/d of oil, a storage capacity of 2 million barrels and 120 beds. The project is located in 3,000ft of water.
