LAGOS, Nigeria– The FPSOEgina has departed the SHI-MCI yard at the deepwater LADOL complex in Lagos, Nigeria, and is on its way to the Egina oil field, according to Samsung Heavy Industries.
The newbuild FPSO was towed from the SHI shipyard in Geoje, South Korea and arrived in Nigeria in late January for final integration of topsides modules built in Lagos.
TheTotal-operated Egina field is about 130 km (81 mi) offshore Nigeria in water depths of more than 1,500 m (4,921 ft). Production is expected to start later this year.
The FPSOEgina is 330 m (1,083 ft) in length, 61 m (200 ft) across, and 34 m (112 ft) high, with a storage capacity of 2.3 MMbbl of oil and topsides weighing 60,000 tons.
The FPSO will be connected to 44Â subsea wells and is expected to produce 200,000Â b/d of oil.
