Project Description

The Udibe field development comprises 3 phases:

Phase1 (Drilling and Well Testing):

this includes installing a conductor supported Wellbay platform and drilling and testing the first Dutchford well in the Udibe field. Expected duration is 2.5months.

Phase 2 (Extended Well Testing and Early Production):

Dutchford plans to monetise the production of the first well using a Mobile Production Unit (MOPU) and a nearby FSO. Drilling of wells 2 and 3 is planned to also take place in parallel during this phase. Expected duration is 12months.

Phase 3 (Production):

Finally, the wells will be disconnected from the MOPU and tied into Dutchford’s main production facility to sustain permanent production. The product will still be stored on a nearby FSO. Planned design life is 25 years.
