Total Starts Up Production of Egina Field

摘要

Total has started up production end of December 2018 from the Egina field,located in around 1,600 m of water depths,150 km off the coast of Nigeria.At plateau,the Egina field will produce 200,000 boepd,which represents about 10% of Nigeria's production.The Floating Production Storage and Offloading(FPSO)unit used to develop the giant Egina field is the largest one Total has ever built.This project has also involved a record level of local contractors.Six of the eighteen modules on the FPSO were built and integrated locally,and 77% of hours spent on the project were worked locally.Startup has been achieved close to 10% below the initial budget,which represents more than 1 billion $ of CAPEX savings,due in particular to excellent drilling performance where the drilling time per well has been reduced by 30%.
