CALGARY, Canada – Development of the deepwater Usan field offshore Nigeria remains on track for first oil during the first half of 2012, according to partner Nexen Petroleum.

The FPSO has arrived at the field location and has been successfully moored. Also under way is the process of commissioning the FPSO and connecting the subsea wells to the facility and this should continue into the early part of next year.

At peak, the Total-operated project should deliver 180,000 boe/d.
