ENI has brought on stream its Ndungu field in prolific Block 15/06 offshore Angola and aims to drill additional wells on the asset this year to beef up resources and production volumes. The Italian major has made multiple discoveries on this licence, all of which have been fast-tracked to first oil over the past eight years or so. This latest project, Ndungu Early Production, has been developed by subsea wells tied back to Eni's Ngoma floating production, storage and offloading vessel in the western part of the block. Eni described Ndungu as another example of how the company, in co-operation with Angola's upstream regulator ANPG, "keeps creating value on Block 15/06 through its infrastructure-led exploration strategy, generating a pipeline of fast-track subsea tie-backs, thus maximising the use of existing facilities in the area in a sustainable manner".
