Energy Africa announces resumption of Ceiba production
Energy Africa is pleased to report that following the 14 day shut-in of
production in the Ceiba Field, offshore Equatorial Guinea, production has
resumed at a rate in excess of 50 000 barrels of oil per day. The shut-in
was required for the replacement of the Sendje Berge FPSO with an expanded
capacity FPSO, the Sendje Ceiba, which has a liquids processing capacity of
160 000 barrels per day and water injection capability of 135 000 barrels
per day.
The challenging task of transferring flowlines and umbilicals from the
Sendje Berge to the Sendje Ceiba, installation of additional subsea
equipment for production and water injection and hook-up to the new topsides
processing facilities was achieved ahead of schedule. Re-pressuring of the
reservoir will commence when water injection is brought online later in the
month. In-fill drilling is scheduled for the remainder of 2002.
Adrian Nel, Energy Africa's Chief Operating Officer, said "the very
successful commissioning of the Sendje Ceiba will ensure that we will
achieve our production target of 21 000 barrels of oil per day, of which
approximately 4 600 barrels per day will be attributable to Ceiba, for our
financial year to 31 March 2002."
The operator of the Ceiba Field in Equatorial Guinea is Amerada Hess
Corporation.
