TotalEnergies lets subsea production contract for deepwater project offshore Angola
TotalEnergies has let a contract to SLB OneSubsea for a 13-well subsea production system scope, including associated equipment and services, for development of the Kaminho deepwater project, offshore Angola.
Kaminho, the first presalt Kwanza basin project, is to be developed by TotalEnergies and its Block 20/11 partners in two phases for the Cameia and Golfinho discoveries. The oil fields lie 100 km off the coast in 1,700 m water-depth.
During Kaminho first phase for development of Cameia field, SLB OneSubsea will collaborate with TotalEnergies to deploy a configurable subsea production platform with standardized vertical monobore subsea tree, wellhead, and controls system.
The operator made a final investment decision to proceed with the deepwater project in May and signed a memorandum of understanding with project partner Sonangol EP to share expertise on research and technology, notably in decarbonization of the oil and gas industry (OGJ Online, May 21, 2024).
Production start-up is expected in 2028, with a plateau of 70,000 b/d of oil. TotalEnergies is operator of the block with 40% interest. Partners are Petronas (40%) and Sonangol (20%).
