OML-47 Deep Offshore Development

📍Niger Delta, Nigeria

Project overview

The OML-47 project represented one of the most technically challenging deep-offshore developments in the Niger Delta. Energy Consulting Practice served as technical operator, managing the full life-cycle from appraisal well design through to facilities hook-up and first oil. The programme involved drilling two production wells and one water injection well using a semi-submersible rig in 1,100m water depth. A fast-track FPSO tie-back was executed using pre-agreed frame agreements, reducing cycle time by 14 months vs conventional project delivery.
