ENI completed the ramp-up of production on Angola’s deep offshore Ochigufu field, reaching a production plateau of 24,000 bpd in less than two months from start-up.
The Ochigufu is connected to the Sangos production system and from there to the FPSO N’Goma in the West Hub of Block 15/06.
The ramp-up to plateau production brings Block 15/06’s, where the Ochigufu field is located, to a stable rate of above 150,000 bpd and is in line with ENI’s goal of adding 54,000 bpd to Block 15/06’s production totals by 2019.
The next start-ups in this block this year will be the UM8 reservoir in the East Hub and the Subsea Boosting System for the Mpungi field, while the Vandumbu field, in the West Hub, will start production in early 2019. These start-ups will add a further 30,000 bpd of oil to the overall production from Block 15/06, which in 2019 will exceed 170,000 bpd.
