OSLO, Norway– Initial production rates at the Tortue field in the Dussafu Marin PSC offshore Gabon are fully in line with expectations, according to partner Panoro Energy.
Production began on Sept. 16, 2018, at the BW Offshore-operated Tortue field from the initial two horizontal production wells in the FPSOBW Adolo.
A 72-hour performance test on the FPSO process plant was successfully completed on Sept. 21, 2018. Production from the two wells has been, and continues to be, optimized and tested, and both wells are currently under separate pressure build up tests.
While well and vessel testing continue for the coming weeks, the wells have delivered a stabilized rate in the middle of the 10,000-15,000 b/d of oil guidance range.
