Anguille field redevelopment, Gabon
Name and location
Anguille field redevelopment, Gabon.
Project description
The redevelopment project will improve the oil recovery factor to 23%, from 13%, by increasing the number of drainage points in the Anguille field, in particular in the northern part of the field, and by enhancing well productivity using hydraulic fracturing and massive waterflood.
Phase 1 of the redevelopment is under way, leveraging existing facilities. Around a dozen wells will be drilled in 2007 and 2008, and the associated surface facilities will be debottlenecked. Running from 2009 to 2011, Phase 2 entails installing new offshore infrastructure and decommissioning obsolete process units, building an onshore plant (power generation, fluid treatment, gas compression) and drilling an additional estimated 30 wells. The project will eliminate gas flaring on the field by 2011, as well as coastal discharges of production water.
Value
The development cost is an estimated $2-billion for about 150-million barrels.
Duration
Production is expected to increase from 2008, peaking at over 30 000 bbl/d in 2013/14.
