Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Co. Ltd. (SNEPCo), a subsidiary of Shell plc, let an integrated drilling services contract to Halliburton for OML 144 offshore Nigeria in HI gas field.
Halliburton will support feed gas supply for the Nigeria LNG Train 7 by supplying drilling services, integrated services, and remote operations, it said in a release Nov. 10.
When completed, the HI gas project is expected to supply 350 MMscfd (about 60,000 boe/d) of gas at peak production to Nigeria LNG.
The HI project consists of a wellhead platform with four wells to be installed at HI field, a pipeline to transport the multiphase gas onshore at Bonny, and a gas processing plant at Bonny. Processed gas will be transported to Nigeria LNG and condensate will go to the Bonny Oil and Gas Export Terminal.
HI field was discovered in 1985 and lies in 100 m of water about 50 km from shore. Its current estimated recoverable resource volumes are about 285 MMboe.
The HI project is a joint venture between Sunlink Energies and Resources (60%) and SNEPCo (40%). Shell holds 25.6% interest in Nigeria LNG.
