Total said it has achieved its first significant milestone after producing a cumulative two billion barrels from block 17 offshore Angola.
The group currently operates four FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) units on the major production zones of the block – Girassol, Dalia, Pazflor and CLOV.
Arnaud Breuillac, president of Exploration & Production, said: “Block 17 is a global benchmark in the deep offshore and represents a unique industrial adventure, with 15 discoveries and a very high level of production.
“Thanks to the commitment of our teams and a number of technological world firsts over the past 14 years, the production of Block 17 has continuously ramped up.
“This milestone is a symbol of our strong position in the deep offshore sector.
“The Group is already the leading deep offshore operator in West Africa and is using this expertise to grow in other regions: in Brazil through its participation in the Libra field as well as in the United Kingdom with the coming start-up of the Laggan-Tormore project in the deep offshore.”
