Total completed the flare out of the Ofon field on Oil Mining Lease 102 offshore Nigeria, now the associated gas from the field is being compressed and sent to shore. The associated gas from the Ofon is being used as feedstock for LNG production.
Total said the completion of the flare out will allow for the gradual increase of production towards its 90,000 boepd production target via the monetization of around 100 Mmcf/d of gas as well as the drilling of additional wells in 2015.
Guy Maurice, Total Exploration & Production’s senior VP for Africa, in a company statement said, “The flare out of the Ofon field illustrates our commitment to developing oil and gas resources around our existing hubs in Nigeria. This important milestone of the Phase 2 of the Ofon project was achieved in a context of high levels of local content. The flare out on Ofon is also significant for Total’s environmental targets, representing a 10% reduction in the group’s E&P flaring. This achievement is a clear demonstration of Total’s commitment to the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership promoted by the World Bank.”
