BW Offshore Gabon and Panoro Energy saw the arrival of the FPSO that will be positioned on the Dussafu Marin permit’s Tortue field offshore Gabon. The vessel left Singapore in early July, making its way to Gabon.
TheBW Adolo reached Gabonese waters and is now undergoing preparations for installation and production start-up. The hooking up of wells to the FPSO will complete Phase One of the Tortue project.
Operator BW Energy anticipates first oil from Phase 1 at Tortue later this year, at initial production rates in the range of 10,000-15,000 bpd.
Planning for Phase 2 at Tortue is also under way and will likely entail further production wells in the Gamba and Dentale D6 reservoirs.
The BW Adolo has an oil storage capacity of 1,350,000 barrels and a production capacity of 40,000 bpd.
