A unit of Royal Dutch Shell in Nigeria, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Ltd. (SNEPCo), saw production start from the Bonga Phase 3 project.
Phase 3 of this development is an expansion of the main Bonga Development which came onstream in 2005. Peak production is expected to be some 50,000 boepd. This will be transported through existing pipelines to the Bonga FPSO facility, which has the capacity to produce more than 200,000 bpd of oil and 150 Mmcf/d of gas.
Andrew Brown, Shell’s Upstream International Director, said: “This new start up is another important milestone for Bonga, adding valuable new production to this major facility.”
