fon Field is an oil and natural gas field located in the Oil Mining Lease (OML)
102, about 65km offshore in the south-eastern coast of Nigeria. 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.
Nexans will provide Halogen free, thermoset compound SHF2 or XLPE low
smoke PVC outer sheath to reduce gas flaring.
