Main <strong>Market</strong>s - Angola<br />
Block 18 Plutonia project, FID expected <strong>2011</strong> – BP<br />
Block 18 is operated by BP (50% ownership) with partners Sonangol (12.5%) and<br />
Sinopec (37.5%). Key development project is Plutonia located 200 km offshore,<br />
northwest of Luanda, in water depth of 1,500 m. Additionally, the western fields<br />
Platina and Chumbo, 40 km west of Plutonia, and Cesioa, may be tied back.<br />
Expectations are that BP will decide on a converted FPSO from its existing frame<br />
agreements with Modec and SBM. BP has indicated <strong>2011</strong> FID for the project.<br />
Block 31 PSVM project ongoing, PAJ project to be decided <strong>2011</strong> - BP<br />
Block 31 is operated by BP (26.7% ownership) with partners ExxonMobil (25%),<br />
Statoil (13.3%), Marathon (10%) and Total (5%). By end 2009, Block 31 includes 20<br />
discoveries located in 1,500-2,450 m water depth. Multiple development hubs have<br />
been identified, each hub likely developed via subsea tiebacks to FPSOs.<br />
PSVM is the most advanced hub in terms of planning and includes discoveries Plutao,<br />
Saturno, Venus and Marte located northeast in Block 31. Project approval was mid<br />
2008, first oil is expected 2012. Future tie-ins to the FPSO could include Terra and<br />
Leda discoveries.<br />
Development will include a converted FPSO with 150 kbblpd plateau production.<br />
FPSO contract was won by Modec. Cameron will supply subsea production systems,<br />
and Heerema, Aker Solutions and Technip will supply umbilicals, flowlines, and risers.<br />
48 production and injection wells are planned for.<br />
In anticipation of future projects in Block 31, BP has frame agreements with Modec<br />
and SBM for FPSOs and the other suppliers for the remaining hardware and services.<br />
Future FPSO designs are expected to be similar to enable fast-tracking.<br />
The second hub, with Final Investment Decision expected <strong>2011</strong>, is located southeast<br />
in Block 31 and will include discoveries Palas, Astraea, and Juno (PAJ) located in<br />
1,600-1,750 water depth. The second hub could be in production from 2015. A<br />
contract award to SBM for FPSO under the frame agreement is expected 2010. FPSO<br />
is expected to have 2 mbbl storage capacity and 14,000 tonne topsides. Tendering for<br />
subsea trees and pipelines is expected from end of 2010.<br />
The third hub is likely to follow 12-18 months after PAJ. Also with a FPSO-based<br />
subsea tieback development, this will include the discoveries Ceres, Hebe, Titania,<br />
Cordelia, Portia and Miranda fields, located in the central parts of Block 31.<br />
