The operator and its joint venture partners have decided on a 59-well development programme, connected through about 300 kilometres of subsea pipelines, to two floating production, storage and offloading vessels.
With a planned production capacity of 230,000 barrels per day, the development programme will develop an estimates reserve of 650 million barrels.
After an optimisation plan, the project’s capital expenditure has been reduced by $4 billion, to $16 billion with an expected start-up in 2017.
