TotalEnergies brings Begonia, CLOV 3 onstream offshore Angola

TotalEnergies has started production from two deepwater subsea tiebacks offshore Angola.

These will increase production through the Pazflor and CLOV FPSOs in offshore Block 17 by 60,000 bbl/d.

BEGONIA, Angola’s first offshore inter-block development in Angola, involved a cooperation between the block 17/06 and 17 partners.

The development, 150 km offshore, comprises five wells tied back to the Pazflor FPSO.

CLOV Phase 3 is 140 km offshore Angola. This is a four-well, 20,000-bbl/d development connected to the CLOV FPSO, using standardized subsea equipment.

Nicolas Terraz, president Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies, said with these new projects, the company was leveraging available production capacity in the FPSOs while also reducing costs and emissions.
