Angola’s Block 15/06 has added more production to the country’s totals with the startup of another development on the block. The ENI-operated East Hub Development Project was brought onstream ahead of development plan estimates and, according to ENI, it also had a time-to-market that was among the best in the sector.
Production from the East Hub Development flows from the Cabaca Sout East field to the FPSO Olombendo. The FPSO has a 80,000 bpd of oil and 3.4 Mmcm/d of gas capacity. The development has nine wells and four manifolds at a water depth of 450 meters.
Production from the East Hub Project will add to production from the existing West Hub Project in the Sangos, Cinguvu and Mpungi fields, where another vessel, the FPSO N’Goma, is operating. In total, Block 15/06 will reach a peak of 150,000 bpd of oil this year.
With the addition of the Cabaca South East field coming on line, Block 15/06 now has five producing fields. ENI intends to add production from two more fields from the block before the end of next year.
Block 15/06 is operated by ENI with a 36.84% share, while Sonangol Pesquisa e Produção has a 36.84% share, and SSI Fifteen Ltd. holds 26.32%.
