Eni started production from Ndungu Early Production (EP) development project, in Block 15\/06 of the Angolan deep offshore, via the Ngoma Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel.<\/p>\n
The start-up of Ndungu EP is yet another example of how Eni Angola, in full cooperation with Ag\u00eancia Nacional de Petr\u00f3leo, G\u00e1s e Biocombust\u00edveis (ANPG) and partners, keeps creating value on Block 15\/06 through its Infrastructure-Led Exploration strategy, generating a pipeline of fast-track subsea tie-backs, thus maximizing the utilization of existing facilities in the area in a sustainable manner.<\/p>\n
Ndungu Early Production project, with an expected production rate in the range of 20,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), will sustain the plateau of the Ngoma, a 100 kbopd zero-discharge and zero-process flaring FPSO, upgraded in 2021 to minimize emissions, in line with Eni\u2019s decarbonisation strategy to achieve net zero.<\/p>\n
A further exploration and delineation campaign will be performed in the first half of 2022 with the aim to assess the full potential of the overall asset of Ndungu.<\/p>\n
Ndungu EP is the third start-up achieved by Eni Angola in Block 15\/06 in the last 7 months, after Cuica Early Production and Cabaca North Development Project.<\/p>\n
Block 15\/06 is operated by Eni Angola with a 36.84% share. Sonangol Pesquisa e Produ\u00e7\u00e3o (36.84%) and SSI Fifteen Limited (26.32%) compose the rest of the Joint Venture. Further to Block 15\/06, Eni is the operator of exploration Blocks Cabinda North, Cabinda Centro, 1\/14 and 28, as well as of the New Gas Consortium (NGC). In addition, Eni has stakes in the non-operated Blocks 0 (Cabinda), 3\/05, 3\/05A, 14, 14 K\/A-IMI, 15 and in the Angola LNG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
