Africa Oil Week congratulates Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 on achieving First Oil from the Baleine project last weekend!
The field is operated by Eni Energies et Services in partnership with PETROCI and is the country's biggest oil and gas discovery to date with 2.5 billion barrels of oil and 3.3 Tcf of natural gas.
Eni's phased development approach has enabled to start production only two years after the company's successful #explorationdrilling programme. The initial phase relies on the Firenze FPSO, able to process 15,000 bopd and 25 MMscf/d of gas.
A second phase should ramp up production to 50,000 bopd and 70 MMsc/d by 2024 before achieving full field development with a peak of 150,000 bopd and 200 MMscf/d. Key contractors on the project include Saipem and Baker Hughes.
Over the past few years, Côte d'Ivoire's Ministère des Mines, du Pétrole et de l'Energie has successfully brought investments into the sector with market activity picking up across the exploration, production, and energy infrastructure segments.
