Project Profile
Location: OML 102, 65 km from Nigerian shores, offshore Nigeria
Reserves: 350 million barrels of oil equivalent
Production: 90,000 boepd production and 2.83 mcm of gas per day (target)
Production: 25,000 boepd (2015)
Water depth: 40 metres
Start-up year: December 1997 (Phase 1), January 2015 (Phase 2)
The Ofon field is located in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 102, 65 kilometres off the Nigerian shores in a water depth of 40 metres. In 2014, Total has completed the flare out of the Ofon field on Oil Mining Lease (OML) 102 offshore Nigeria. The associated gas of the Ofon field is now being compressed, evacuated to shore and monetized via Nigeria LNG. The field initially commenced production in 1997 and is currently producing about 25,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. This flare-out milestone will allow for the gradual increase of production towards the 90,000 boepd production target through monetization of around 2.83 million cubic metres of gas per day, followed later in 2015 by the drilling of additional wells. The execution of the project also involved significant local content, including the first living quarters platform to be fabricated in Nigeria.
