Summary Information

  • Operator: ENI
  • Country: Ivory Coast
  • Location: blocks CI-101 and CI-802, offshore
  • Production start: Scheduled for 2024
  • Partners: PetroCi Holding
  • Type: Oil & Gas
  • Estimated Reserves: estimated oil in place of 2.5 billion barrels and 3.3 trillion cubic feet of associated gas
  • Production Volume:

Description

  • The Baleine field extends over blocks CI-101 and CI-802.
  • The Firenze FPSO, has been renamed Baleine FPSO after its arrival in Cote d’Ivoire, has been refurbished and upgraded in order to allow it to treat up to 15,000 bbl/d of oil and around 25 Mcfd/d of associated gas.
  • The entire gas production will be delivered onshore via a newly built export pipeline.
  • The start of Phase 2 is expected by the end of 2024 and will increase field production to 50,000 bbl/d of oil and approximately 70 Mscf/d of associated gas.
    • Phase 2 will utilise the Petrojarl Kong FPSO and the Floating Storage and Offloading Unit (FSO) Yamoussoukro
  • The third development phase aims to elevate field production up to 150,000 bbl/d of oil and 200 Mscf/d of gas.

Contractors

  • Saipem:
    • Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) activities of Subsea Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines (SURF) and of an onshore gas pipeline for the connection to the distribution grid
    • Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning activities regarding the refurbishment of the Firenze FPSO vessel

Phase 2

  • Baker Hughes:
    • eight deep water trees, three Aptara™ manifolds, the relevant subsea production control system, and flexible risers and jumpers

History

  • 2021 - Baleine Oil and Gas Field discovered
  • 2022 - Final investment decision taken
  • 2022 - Saipem awarded major contracts
  • 2023 - The FPSO sets sail for the Baleine Oil and Gas Field
  • 2023 - First oil and gas produced
  • 2024 - First production from phase 2

Geology

  • The resources are in light oil bearing intervals of Santonian and Cenomanian / Albian age. The lower Cenomanian / Albian level shows discrete to good reservoir characteristics
