On Wednesday, the Cabinda Gulf Oil Company (Cabgoc), a subsidiary of the American petroleum company Chevron, announced the commencement of the construction of a platform for oil exploration at the N’dola Sul well in the Cuanza Sul province.
In a press release, the oil company stated that, “to celebrate this important project milestone,” a symbolic “first steel cut” ceremony was held at the ALGOA shipyard, located in the municipality of Porto Amboim.
“The development of the N’dola Sul field is a project that will be proudly carried out in Angola, by Angolans and for Angolans. It is an application of a strategy focused on low-cost, short-cycle project development with simplified structures,” highlights the statement quoted by Lusa.
The field is situated in Block 0, 60 kilometers from the Malongo Terminal in the Cabinda province. It consists of a wellhead platform with 12 production wells and a tie-back to the existing production and processing platform at Mafumeira, where fluids will be processed and exported to the oil and gas transportation system of Block 0.
