(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
SONASING and OPS, two joint venture companies of SONANGOL and SBM Offshore N.V.
are pleased to announce the contracts with ENI Angola have been signed for the
twelve year lease and operation of the FPSO Xikomba for the block 15/06
development, offshore Angola.
The development plan involves relocation of the existing FPSO Xikomba, which has
been operating under contract for ExxonMobil in Angola since 2003. The FPSO is
currently in Singapore at Keppel shipyard where it will undergo part of the
major upgrade in order to meet the new project specific requirements. The
execution schedule foresees a certain amount of fabrication and integration work
to be performed in the PAENAL yard in Angola.
Joaquim Fernandes, Director of SONASING/OPS: 'We are very pleased with the
contract from ENI for the relocation of one of SONASING's FPSOs within Angola
and that part of the upgrade work will be performed in the PAENAL yard in Angola
by Angolans. This is a positive development in raising Angolan content in the
construction of FPSOs and providing continued work for Angolan nationals during
offshore operations on the unit".
First production from the FPSO is planned for 2014.
Luanda, 14 December 2011
Mr. Joaquim Fernandes
OPS / SONASING DIRECTOR
