Kaombo
Operator: Total
Location: West Africa Block 32

This Total’s Project is located in Block 32 at about 150 km from the Angolan coast and covers a total surface of 5090 km2. The Kaombo area itself covers the Gindungo, Gengibre, Caril, Canela, Louro, Mostarda and Salsa Provisional Development Areas (DA) with a cumulative surface of about 640 km2, in water depths ranging from 1400m to 2000m.

 

Main information regarding this Project:

– Stand alone development of 6 fields and 9 reservoirs: Gengibre Oligocene, Gengibre Miocene, Gindungo Main, Gindungo Deep, Caril Oligocene (hub North); and Canela Oligocene, Mostarda West panel, Louro Oligocene and Louro Miocene reservoirs (hub South),

– Base case reserves amount to around 660 Mb (w/o Fuel Gas), over a production period of 20 years with 59 wells (33 production wells and 26 injector wells);

– Production by subsea wells connected via six hybrid loops to 2 converted turret-moored FPSO’s, both following the same design (concept ‘’design 1 – build 2’’) and designed for a 115 kbopd yearly production plateau;

– Full reservoir pressure maintenance by water injection;

– Artificial lift provided by riser-base gas-lift;

– Export of excess gas to Angola LNG liquefaction plant;

– Stabilised crude export by tankers (tandem offloading);

– FID : early 2014;

– Contract Awards : 1st Quarter 2014;

– First Oil : 3rd Quarter 2017 for the FPSO North, 2nd Quarter 2018 for the FPSO South and for Caril Field;

– Start of drilling campaign 18 months after FID;

– First Oil FPSO GGC with 13 wells 42 months after FID;

– First Oil FPSO CLM with 14 wells 50 months after FID (= FPSO GGC + 8 months);

– First Oil Caril Field 1 month after first oil FPSO CLM;

– End of full drilling & completion campaign between 5 to 6 years after start of drilling on FPSO GGC.
