OSLO, Norway — BW Energy has brought onstream the second producer well of the Hibiscus/Ruche Phase 1 development in the Dussafu license offshore Gabon.
The Borr Norve jackup drilled the horizontal DHIBM-4 well from the BW MaBoMo production facility in 116 m of water to a TD of 4,800 m in Gamba sandstone reservoirs in the Hibiscus Field. Since coming online, performance has met expectations and production is currently stabilized at about 6,000 bbl/d.
Borr Norve has since started drilling operations on the DHIBM-5H producer on Hibiscus, the third in the current six-well campaign on the Hibiscus and Ruche fields.
BW Energy is targeting about 30,000 bbl/d of new oil production once all the wells are completed and onstream, around the end of the year. DHIBM-3H, the first new Hibiscus producer, came onstream in early April.
Remaining wells in the line-up comprise one on Hibiscus Gamba and two Ruche Gamba wells. Â All production is transported by pipeline to the BW Adolo FPSO for processing and storage before offloading to export tankers.
Commissioning and testing of the second gas-lift compressor continues onboard the FPSO. The compressor will support production from the six existing Tortue wells, adding a further 3,000 bbl/d.
