Project highlights:
- Initial six production wells from the WHP.
- The WHP will be a converted drilling jack-up with up to 16 well slots and production- and test-flowlines connected to the redeployed FPSO BW Maromba (ex. Polvo).
- A second six-well drilling campaign will fully leverage the established field infrastructure and allow for appraisal and testing of other reservoir horizons.
- BW?Maromba refurbishment and life extension work is already underway at the COSCO yard in China.
- Total investments of US$1.5 billion, split US$1.2 billion for the initial development and a further US$0.3 billion for the secondary drilling campaign.
“We have spent time on optimising the Maromba development plan and concluded on a highly competitive concept with a repurposed jack-up platform and FPSO, repeating the approach we very successfully applied in Gabon. Maromba will enable BW Energy to deliver industry-leading organic production growth and position the Company for further low-cost developments of known potential developments. We expect to unlock significant shareholder value in all realistic oil price scenarios,” said Carl K. Arnet, the CEO of BW Energy.
