The reserves lie at a water depth of 40m (131ft), The OML 102 is owned by state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC - 60%) and is operated by Total Exploration- Production Nigeria (TEPNG - 40%), formerly Elf Petroleum Nigeria The proved and probable reserves at Ofon are about 350 million barrels of oil equivalent. The phase 1 of Ofon Field started production in December 1997. Phase 2 of the offshore Ofon Field development began in February 2012. Itis expected to come on stream in 2014. Phase 2 will tap the undeveloped reserves, at the Ofon Field, The development will mostly focus on producing natural gas. The recovered gas from the field will be compressed and transferred to the shore. The second phase is expected to increase the production from the field from 30,000 barrels of ail equivalent per day (boepd) to 30,000boepd. The project will involve installation of four new platforms that include two production platforms, one accommodation platform for 124 people and a processing platform. Ofon Field phase 1 and phase 2 oil and gas field development The first phase of Ofon Field was launched in 1995. The reserves at the field were discovered using structural to stratigraphic exploration techniques. It consists of three platforms. The four-level production deck for Ofon phase | was constructed by McDermott. The 115ftx 102ft deck was built using deck/pancake technique. Total identified potential extension of the Ofon field in the southem ‘lank in 2005. Plans for the phase 2 extension were initiated in July 2007. The project was, expected to come on stream in 2011, It has been, however, delayed for about aipshwtishore technology comiprojectsofon-ela! 18 ‘spoa014 (fon Field, Oi and Gas Feld -Ofshore Tectnoloay five years. Upgrades to the three existing platforms and design of the new platforms were undertaken by Abel. The Ofon phase 2 will be a sustainable development and meet the standards set by the Federal Government of Nigeria. It will boost the regional economy and utiise local resources and manpower. The development will work towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and flaring of associated gas. It will comply with environmental stewardship commitments undertaken by Total and EPNL. Gas from the field will be monetised using Nigeria LNG (NLNG) plant. The water produced during gas recovery will be re-injected into the reservoir to boost the output. Total will concentrate on developing deep offshore fields in the future, They include Akepo and Usan. Modification of phase 1 offshore facilities at Ofon In October 2011, Ponticelli Nigeria (a subsidiary of Ponticelli Freres Group) was awarded a contract for modification and adaptation works on the existing Ofon Phase | offshore facilities. The scope of works include installation of 300t of piping and equipment, 200t of steel works, 40km of electrical wiring, telecom and instrumentation works, Construction and installation contracts for Ofon Field phase 2 TEPNG awarded a tumkey contract to Technip for supplying topsides of the Ofon 2 fixed platform (OFP2), in May 2007. The scope of works will include loadout and transportation of the 16,000t topsides from South Korea to the field, engineering, supply and installation of the equipment through Unideck floatover method Nigerdock, an engineering and construction firm in Nigeria, started construction of the Ofon 2 platforms in March 2012 In October 2011, Saipem was awarded the contract to provide EPC, fabrication and installation of the OFP2 jacket and living quarter platform for phase 2. Fabrication of the 900m, 1,970t jacket and 4,500t piles will take place in Rumuolumeni Yard in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The vessel Saipem 3000 will provide offshore activities when the project comes on line, The EPC and commissioning contract for the phase 2 was awarded to Eiffage Construction Métallique, in November 2011. The value of the contract is $424m, Aveon Offshore was awarded a $50m contract to fabricate OF Q jacket, helideck, utility deck and piles for the LQ platform, in December 2011. The subsea systems are expected to be installed in March 2013. Sofresid and OOPE are the engineering consultants. Akmos Global Services is the spareparts supplier for platform maintenance A.consortium of Actemium Oil & Gas Engineering (AOGE) and Yokogawa was selected for providing the detailed engineering, functional analysis, HIPS detail studies, instrument data base management, supply of machines vibration monitoring system and electrical network power shading 5,000 1/0.
