The FPSO for Nigeria’s Egina deepwater oil field is heading toward the field in the next couple of weeks. The $3.3 billion FPSO arrived in January from South Korea and has been undergoing final installations.
The Deputy Managing Director for Deep Water at Total Exploration and Production Nigeria, Ahmadu-Kida Musa, disclosed this at the Nigeria Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition (NOG) in Abuja.
Musa said that the FPSO, which had the detailed engineering of its topsides executed in-country after it arrived from South Korea by Samsung with a consortium of Nigerian engineering companies, will sail away to Egina field, which he noted, is located in OML 130.
“Egina is the latest of Total’s deepwater developments and the third project of its kind developed by Total in Nigeria, after Akpo and Usan. These projects have brought a progressive increase in levels of Nigerian Content and this is well illustrated by the percentage of total project workload performed in Nigeria: Total recorded 44% from Usan, 60% from Akpo and now 77% for the Egina.”
The Egina field is the deepest offshore development carried out in Nigeria to date. The project is in water depths of 1,500 meters and is designed to produce 200,000 bpd at plateau. The field will also re-inject associated gas into the reservoir to maintain reservoir pressure and partly channel to supply the domestic gas market.
