BP starts Angola production

摘要

BP HAS STARTED production from one of the largest subsea developments in the world as flows from the PSVM development off Angola got under way. Production from the development in Block 31, operated by the UK supermajor, is set to hit 70,000 bpd of oil before more than doubling over the coming year as two other fields come on line. PSVM is being exploited with a Modec-owned floating production, storage & offloading (FPSO) vessel, with four different fields involved. The unit has 1.6 million barrels of storage capacity and is the first FPSO to work Angola's ultra-deepwater plays.
