Vega Pleyade is Total’s second field to enter into operations this year. Earlier in February, the company began production on its offshore Laggan-Tormore project in the UK. Using a single wellhead platform, the resource offshore Argentina will be fed back via a 77-km pipeline to the onshore Rio Cullen and Canadon Alfa treatment facilities.
The Vega Pleyade field is situated in the Total-operated Cuenca Marina Austral 1 concession. Partners in the Tierra del Fuego region’s shallow-water development are Germany’s Wintershall with 37.5% and Pan American Energy with 25%.
Commenting on the start of production, Total president of exploration & production Arnaud Breuillac said Vega Pleyade would allow the company to “maintain the level of our operated production in Tierra del Fuego at around 18 mcm [636 mcf] per day and to contribute to the long-term delivery of gas to Argentina.” According to Breuillac, the work marks the “development of one of the largest offshore gasfields in Argentina and is the world’s southern-most gas development.”
