Total takes FID for Zinia 2 development offshore Angola
PARIS -- Total and its partners have taken the final investment decision to launch the Zinia 2 deep offshore development in Block 17, 150 km offshore Angola. The Zinia 2 project will have a production capacity of 40,000 bpd, sustaining Pazflor field production, on stream since 2011.
Zinia 2 is the first of several possible short-cycle developments on Block 17 that will unlock its full potential by connecting satellite reservoirs to the existing floating storage, production and offloading (FPSO) units. Zinia 2 comprises nine wells in water depths ranging from 600 to 1,200 m, tied back to the Pazflor FPSO with a budget of $1.2 billion.
Total operates the Block 17 with a 40% interest, alongside affiliates of Equinor (23.33%), ExxonMobil (20%), and BP (16.67%). Sonangol, is concessionaire. It has four FPSOs — Girassol, Dalia, Pazflor and CLOV. In 2017, its production averaged 600,000 bpd.
