The naming ceremony for the FPSO that will be positioned off the coast of Angola on ENI’s Block 15/06 East Hub Development Project was held in Singapore. The vessel, named the Armada Olombendo, will be ready to sail to its final destination where, once in position, will commence mooring and hook-up operations.
ENI and its partners have reached a key milestone towards achieving the first oil from East Hub Development Project, which is planned by H1 2017. This follows the successful stream of start-ups in the West Hub Project, in the same Block 15/06, which is the only block of those awarded in the 2006 bid round that has achieved production.
The East Hub Development Project encompasses nine subsea wells, of which five are producers and four are water injectors, in water depths ranging between 450 and 550 meters. The hydrocarbons which are produced from these wells will be transported via a pipeline system to the FPSO to be treated and stored prior to export.
ENI is operator of Block 15/06 partnered with Sonangol P & P and SSI Fifteen Ltd.
