Angola: Kaombo inaugurated as Total sanctions new projects

Total on 10 November announced project sanction for Clov Phase 2 and Dalia phase 3 at a ceremony formally inaugurating the Kaombo project. Kaombo, on Block 32, is Angola’s biggest offshore development. The first floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, Kaombo Norte, came on stream in July, with a production capacity of 115,000 b/d. The start-up of the second FPSO, Kaombo Sul, is expected in 2019. Overall production will reach an estimated 230,000 b/d at peak and the associated gas will be exported to the Angola LNG plant.
