Upstream project news

Payara is the third project in the Stabroek Block and is expected to produce up to 220 000 bpd after startup in 2024, using the Prosperity FPSO vessel.

The Terminator system has been used to successfully cut a subsea wellhead from an abandoned exploration well owned by Wintershall DEA in Norway.

The Duva field is being developed as a subsea installation with three oil producers and one gas producer, tied-back to the Gjøa semi-submersible platform.

The orders comprise marine pumping systems for crude oil offloading, produced water, slop and ballast duties.

The 29-1 field is tied into the existing infrastructure at the Liwan Gas Project, which includes the Liwan 3-1 and Liuhua 34-2 fields within Block 29/26, approximately 300 km southeast of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The umbilicals, produced by Nexans’ specialised facility in Halden, Norway, will provide hydraulic, control and instrumentation services for a stand-alone FPSO facility and associated subsea infrastructure.

Recoverable resources are estimated to be in the range of 2-6 million m3 of oil equivalent, corresponding to 13-38 million boe.

The two companies are to construct an oil well stimulation vessel as part of the agreement.

The Jinzhou 25-1 oilfield 6/11 area is expected to reach peak production of approximately 16 500 bpd in 2023.

Wintershall Noordzee is currently finalising the hook-up activities to the D12-B production platform, from where the produced gas will be transported via the Neptune Energy-operated D15-A production platform, through the NGT gas transportation system to shore.
