The Total Egina FPSO, Built by Samsung Heavy Industries of Nigeria (SHIN), Departed the Manufacturing and Integration Yard in Lagos for Its Final Location Off the Coast of Nigeria.

The Egina oil field is located approximately 130 kilometers off the coast of Nigeria, at depths of over 1,500 meters. Samsung Heavy won the contract to build the Egina FPSO in 2013. The new build contract is worth over US$ 3.4 billion, a turn-key project in which Samsung covers all engineering, design, procurement, construction, transportation, and commissioning.

SHI previously formed a joint venture with a local Nigerian company and established a mega production facility in Lagos, Nigeria, to meet local content requirements. The yard was completed in October 2016.

Egina, one of the largest FPSOs in the world, left Samsung Heavy’s Geoje yard in South Korea in late October 2017 and arrived at the LADOL Free Zone in Lagos, Nigeria, for final integration of modules built in the Free Zone in January 2018.

Offshore Commissioning

According to Samsung, the only major balancing work now is the remaining commissioning work offshore and making the FPSO ready for hydrocarbon entry in 2018. The maximum production of 200,000 barrels per day from the Egina FPSO will increase Nigerian crude oil production by 10%.

The FPSO is to be installed in the Egina offshore field. This mega facility is 330m long, 61m wide, and 34m high. It has a peak production capacity of 200,000 barrels per day and 2.3 million barrels of storage capacity with topsides weighing 60,000 tons.

A Samsung representative said: “We are very proud to announce the successful completion of the first Nigerian onshore integration works for the Egina FPSO with full compliance to Nigeria’s local content, both the schedule and cost management were carried out as planned”.

The French oil company Total is the operator of the Egina oil field, with CNOOC, Petrobras, and Sapetro as partners.
