Eni has started production from the Mpungi field in the West Hub Development Project offshore Angola.
The company said the start-up of the Mpungi in Block 15/06 will bring production to a ramp-up of approximately 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boed) in the first quarter of this year.
The move follows first oil from the Sangos field in November 2014 and the Cinguvu field in early April last year.
The West Hub Development Project encompasses the development of the Sangos, Cinguvu, Mpungi, Mpungi North, Ochigufu and Vandumbu fields in a water depth ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 meters.
Eni chief executive Claudio Descalzi said: “The third start-up milestone of the West Hub Development project has been achieved both on budget and on schedule. This achievement reflects our ability to deliver major projects and confirms our excellent track record in terms of efficiency, technology and innovation.”
