Oil production began in Kizomba Satellites’ Phase 2 development in Block 15 offshore Angola, BP Plc (BP) said April 30.
It is about 150 km off Angola’s coast in about 1,350 m of water.
The deepwater project, expected to produce 70 Mbbl/d at peak, is operated by ExxonMobil (XOM), BP added.
Kizomba Satellites Phase 2 is a subsea infrastructure development of the Kakocha, Bavuca and Mondo South fields, tied back to the Kizomba B and Mondo FPSOs. It will probably recover about 190 MMbbl of oil.
The project scope includes subsea wells, FPSO topside modifications and installation of flowlines and subsea equipment.
Partners in Block 15 are BP (26.67%); ExxonMobil (40%); Eni (20%) and Statoil (13.33%). Sonangol is the concessionaire.
