The development will contribute 30,000 barrels per day to the block’s production and involved drilling seven infill wells tied back to the Dalia floating production, storage and offloading unit, Total said.

“The Dalia FPSO came on stream nearly nine years ago and with the addition of phase 1A will still produce around 200,000 bpd,” Total president of exploration and production Arnaud Breuillac said.
