Angola’s Dalia Oil Field begins production
The Angolan state-owned National Society of Fuels (Sonangol-EP) and Total E&P Angola has announced the beginning of production at their Bloc 17 deep water Dalia field, discovered in 1997.
Located nearly 135 kilometres from the coast in a depth that varies from 200 to 1,500 metres, Dlia contains about one billion barrels of recoverable reserves. It is the biggest development in deepwater exploration this year and it is among the world's largest projects of its kind.
The field includes 71 wells (37 of production, 31 of water injection and three of gas injection), connected to nine collectors.
The submarine installation comprises 40 kilometres of isolated conduits for the flow of the production, linked to eight pipes.
