Project Profile
Value: US$75 million
Location: OML 67, offshore south east Nigeria
Reserve: 116 million barrels (2P) (December 2012)
Peak Production: 50,000 bpd
Average production: 35,102 bopd (gross)
Water Depth: 41 metres
Start-up Year: 2011
The Ebok is an undeveloped offshore oil field located in 41 metres of water. 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).
Phase one involved a single Wellhead Support Structure (WSS) tied back to a MOPU. The facility was tied back to a FSO vessel spread moored nearby. Phase two invoved 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 Partners successfully drilled three production wells at the field, two from the North Fault Block (NFB) and one from the West Fault Block (WFB); the wells have been producing at an average rate of approximately 3,925 bopd. A water injector well is planned to optimise and support the existing producing wells on the North Fault Block.
The MOPU and FSO are envisioned to become a central facility for the broader Ebok/Okwok/OML 115 area.
