Total has started production from a new development on its deep offshore operated Block 17 off the coast of Angola.
Dalia Phase 1A is expected to develop additional reserves of 51Mb (million barrels) and will help contribute 30,000 barrels per day to the block’s production.
Arnaud Breuillac, president of exploration and production, said: “The Dalia FPSO came on stream nearly nine years ago and with the addition of Phase 1A will still produce around 200,000 b/d.
It is the latest milestone in the success story of Block 17, Total’s most prolific license with cumulative production reaching two billion barrels in May 2015.
