It will deliver peak production of 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by the end of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ikike project leverages existing facilities to keep costs low, and is designed to minimize greenhouse gas emissions: estimated at less than 4kg CO<sub>2<\/sub>e\/boe, they will contribute to reducing the average carbon intensity of TotalEnergies\u2019 upstream portfolio. In addition, 95% of hours were worked locally: the jacket as well as the topside modules were entirely built and integrated by local contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTotalEnergies is pleased to start production at Ikike, which was launched a few months before the covid pandemic, and whose success owes a lot to the full mobilization of the teams.
