Summary Information
- Operator: Total
- Country: Angola
- Location: Block 17
- Production start: 2014
- Partners: Total - 40%, Statoil (23.33%), Esso (Block 17) Limited (20%) and BP (16.67%).
- Type: Oil & Gas

Description
- The development consists of four fields, Cravo, Lirio, Orquidea and Violeta
- These fields are located in Block 17 offshore Angola in water depths of 1,100 to 1,400 m
- The project comprises 34 wells and 8 manifolds connected by 180 km of subsea pipelines to the CLOV FPSO unit
- The gas produced on CLOV will be exported via a subsea line to the onshore Angola Soyo LNG Terminal liquefaction plant
- Begonia The Begonia Project will collect oil and gas from the reservoir, via a subsea-to-subsea tie-back to the existing FPSO
