The FPSO vessel for the Aje field in Nigeria is now in transit from
Singapore according to Panoro Energy. The vessel is expected to arrive
in Nigeria mid-March 2016, following a brief stop in Cape Town.
All
key equipment related to the field development has been delivered to
Nigeria. Anchor handling operations in the field started in January and
will continue until mid-February. The construction vessel has commenced
operations and will install the subsea equipment including the manifold
and flowlines during February. Once the FPSO arrives in Nigeria it will
be hooked-up to the mooring system and risers and a short test of the
production systems will be conducted.
Panoro’s CEO, John Hamilton,
said: “We are excited to be approaching first oil at Aje, offshore
Nigeria. Significant operational and contractual progress has been made
on the final phase of field development. With the drilling phase now
concluded, the installation work and the arrival of the FPSO are the
main remaining work streams. The field is expected to be producing by
the end of March 2016.”
