Nigerian indigenous firm, Seven Energy International Ltd., has been busy with its JV interests in the Uquo and Stubb Creek fields, onshore in the Niger Delta. At the Uquo field the development of the infrastructure to bring the field onto commercial production continued throughout 2012. The project involves the construction of a Central Processing Facility (CPF) at Ekid and a gas receiving facility at Ikot Abasi.
Work on the two-train CPF, which will be capable of processing up to 230 Mmcf/d of gas progressed, with the trains initially being constructed in parallel. Focus then turned to completing Train 1 in order to process and supply the Ibom Power Plant under the terms of a gas sales agreement with Accugas, a subsidiary of Seven. The company, along with its partner Frontier Oil, saw the Uqou field come to life December 29.
Seven and Frontier are now commissioning the CPF. The commercial gas production to Ibom power plant through the 60 km Accugas pipeline (operated by Seven Energy) is expected any day. The Uquo Field is a gas field with an oil rim. The JV partners anticipate that production from the oil rim will commence around end of March.
At Seven’s Stubb Creek field, which is held through a 62.5% interest in Universal Energy Resources, the company will initially see production start via an Early Production Facility (EPF) at a gross rate of 2,000 bpd. Five production wells have been drilled and completed and are ready for production. The company also saw the 23 km oil pipeline laid from the field to QIT. The civil engineering works on the processing facility site are well progressed and the EPF has been delivered to the site. Seven is targeting first production in H1 2013.
The company also holds participating interests in OMLs 4, 38 & 41 through a service contract with NPDC.
