Eni FPSO arrives in Angolan waters

LUANDA, December 12, 2016 – Eni’s newest floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel arrived in Angolan waters on Friday, TOGY learned over the weekend. Destined for operations in Block 15/06 offshore Angola, Eni’s local managing director told TOGY that the Armada Olombendo would be in place by the beginning of this week.

 

The FPSO will be utilised on the East Hub Development Project, which is scheduled to deliver first oil in the first half of 2017. Once moored and hooked up in some 500 metres of water, the FPSO will be ready to receive oil from the project’s five producing wells via a pipeline system.

A naming ceremony for the vessel was held in Singapore in October. Shortly thereafter, it embarked on its journey to Angola.
