Industry sources said invitations to tender will be released for an FPSO which will be designed to handle upwards of 150,000 bpd of oil, at least 50% bigger than the vessel Maersk was envisaging just one year ago.
This uptick in size has been driven by drilling success in Block 16 where sources said a well test is currently under way on the Caporolo-1 probe after the operator recently completed the Chissonga-3 appraisal well.
