Topic: Total e & p nigeria limited interview update

Just confirmed from a reliable source that there is still embargo on full time employment

Total kept mute. We will overcome.

French oil firm Total will see out the completion of two major projects in Nigeria this year that will add 60,000 b/d of oil output to its portfolio despite the fall in oil prices, the CEO of Total's Nigerian producing unit, Elizabeth Proust, said Wednesday.

"For Total, we are revisiting our projects because low oil prices means less capital expenditure, less operating expenditure. But I can tell you that in Nigeria we will complete two major projects as planned for in 2015," Proust told Platts on the sidelines of an industry conference in Abuja.

"The projects are the upgrade of our OML 58 and Ofon phase two. They will add around 60,000 b/d to our oil production," Proust said.

The two projects are among the $20 billion investment plans in Nigeria announced by Total in 2010.

She said the third major project, the development of the Egina deepwater field located in OML 130, was also progressing and remained on track.

Oil prices have falling by more than 40% over the last six months, prompting capital spending cuts by oil companies.

dats gud news

How much my hair has grown...since the unending wait for total

Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Good one.....

Nigeria: Total achieves flare-out on its operated Ofon field
January 07, 2015


Paris - Total has completed the flare out of the Ofon field on Oil Mining Lease (OML) 102 offshore Nigeria. The associated gas of the Ofon field is now being compressed, evacuated to shore and monetized via Nigeria LNG.
“The flare-out of the Ofon field illustrates our commitment to developing oil and gas resources around our existing hubs in Nigeria. This important milestone of the Phase 2 of the Ofon project was achieved in a context of high levels of local content,” commented Guy Maurice, Senior Vice President Africa at Total Exploration & Production. “The flare-out on Ofon is also significant for Total’s environmental targets, representing a 10% reduction in the Group’s E&P flaring. This achievement is a clear demonstration of Total’s commitment to the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership promoted by the World Bank.”

The Ofon field is located 65 kilometers from Nigerian shores in water depths of 40 meters. The field initially commenced production in 1997 and is currently producing about 25,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d). This flare-out milestone will allow for the gradual increase of production towards the 90,000 boe/d production target through monetization of around 100 million cubic feet of gas per day, followed later in 2015 by the drilling of additional wells. The execution of the project also involved significant local content, including the first living quarters platform to be fabricated in Nigeria.

Total E&P Nigeria operates OML 102 with a 40% interest, alongside the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (60%).

Moreover OFON Phase 2 field would start production Q3 this year. see link below:

Thank GOD there is hope!!!
Sonardyne’s subsea positioning network for Total’s Egina (Nigeria)






French oil major Total, operator for the Egina oil field offshore Nigeria, together with its construction and survey partners, has installed a Fusion 6G subsea positioning network to support its development of the $15 billion project.
The acoustic technology specified for Egina was supplied by Sonardyne International Ltd, UK. According to Sonardyne, the Egina technology included a field-wide array of Compatt 6 seabed transponders that were deployed and made ready for work eight days ahead schedule.
Located 150 kilometres off the coast of Nigeria, in water depths of up to 1,750 metres, the Egina field covers an area of around 500 square miles. Infrastructure will include an FPSO, an oil offloading terminal and subsea production systems that will include 52 kilometres of oil and water injection flowlines, 12 flexible jumpers, 20 kilometres of gas export pipelines, 80 kilometres of umbilicals, and subsea manifolds. Production at the field is expected to reach 200,000 barrels per day at its peak.
Fusion 6G, a tool for subsea construction and survey, is Sonardyne’s sixth generation of Long BaseLine (LBL) acoustic positioning system. Sonardyne says that Fusion 6G is used for tasks such as structure installation, spoolpiece metrology, ROV tracking and route surveys.
The UK-headquartered company further says that planning for Fusion’s deployment at Egina had begun several months earlier and involved senior project managers and surveyors from Total and its sub-contractors, working closely with offshore personnel from Sonardyne’s Survey Support Group (SSG).
Sonardyne explains that the work undertaken by the SGG for Egina included analysing the proposed location for each of the Compatt transponders in the seabed network, and in doing so, verify that there was clear line of sight between each transponder in order to reliably range to each other. Also, the SSG team mapped out seabed coverage and the expected positioning performance of the Compatts at all points of interest. This process involves specialist software and helps to identify the optimum quantity of transponders that are needed to meet a project’s positioning specification.
“At Egina, the investment in time planning acoustic operations onshore was rewarded with a highly successful offshore LBL campaign. The wide-area transponder array was deployed, installed and calibrated more than a week ahead of schedule and without any further direct support from Sonardyne and the SSG,” the UK-based technology supplier’s statement reads.
Frederic Auger, Chief Surveyor at Total E&P said: “The array installation and subsequent UFR campaign performed at the Egina field has proven to be an extremely successful demonstration of Fusion’s capabilities. Off the back of it, we will be using it to support ongoing field construction activities throughout the rest of this year and into the 2016 season.”
He added:“The system’s quick setup and deployment, meant that the savings in vessel time alone has more than justified our decision to trust in Sonardyne’s low-risk digital technology platform.”
“The successful results we’ve seen at Egina, echo those from similar projects around the world. Fusion 6G saves time, lowers risk and delivers operational cost savings – something that is on every ones’ minds more than ever at the moment,” said Aude Kuchly, Sales Manager for Sonardyne in France.
“Egina serves as another great example of how planning, rehearsal and training leads to operational success.”
