Luanda – Eni began production in the Mpungi field with the West Hub Development Project located in Block 15/06 in the deep waters of Angola, about 350 kilometers northwest of Luanda and 130 kilometers west of Soyo. The kick off of activities in Mpungi follows the launch of the first oil production from the West Hub in the Sangos field in November 2014 and the Cinguvu field at the beginning of April. This will lead to an increase in production for the 1st quarter of 2016 that will reach about 100,000 barrels of oil per day. The West Hub Development Project includes the development of the Sangos, Cinguvu, Mpungi, Mpungi North, Ochigufu and Vandumbu fields, at water depths ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 meters. The wells are arranged in groups and connected to the Floating Production Storage and Offloading Unit of N’Goma, which has a processing capacity of 100,000 barrels of oil per day. (9Colonne)
