CLOV Oil and Gas Fields

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
• Estimated Reserves: The proved and probable reserves are estimated at approximately 500 million barrels of oil
• Production Volume:

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
