PARIS -- Total says the Egina field on Total-operated OML 130 offshore Nigeria could be suitable for stand-alone development.
The first stage in the exploration of OML 130 resulted in the discovery of the Akpo field in 2000. Akpo is expected to start production in late 2008 and to reach peak production of 225,000 boe/d, of which nearly 80% will be condensate.
Egina-1 was discovered in December 2003 and Egina-2 in October 2004. An appraisal program followed seismic data processing, resulting in wells Egina-3 in September 2006, Egina-4 in November 2006, and Egina 5 in November 2006.
The Egina field is about 20 km (12 mi) from Akpo and 150 km (93 mi) from the Nigerian coast.
Partners in OML 130 include NNPC, Sapetro, Petrobras, CNOOC, and Total.
