ENI saw production start at its Cinguvu oil field on the West Hub Development Project on Angola’s Block 15/06. The field came onstream two weeks ahead of schedule. The start-up follows the achievement of West Hub’s first oil through Sangos field start-upin November 2014.
The West Hub Development Project encompasses the development of Sangos, Cinguvu, Mpungi, Mpungi North and Vandumbu fields in a water depth ranging from 3,281 to 4,921 ft. The wells are arranged in clusters and connected to the FPSO N’Goma.
The two fields on stream, Sangos and Cinguvu, are currently producing about 60,000 bpd through the N’Goma FPSO. Production is envisaged to ramp up to 100,000 bpd in Q4 with the start-up of the third field, Mpungi, which will also be connected to N’Goma FPSO.
“This is indeed another important step within the innovative hub-building strategy at the base of our success in Block 15-06 in Angola. A second field, Cinguvu, came on stream on time and on budget, after Sangos in November 2014, confirming our excellent track record in terms of efficiency, technology and innovation,” CEO Claudio Descalzi commented.
