Foxtrot科特迪瓦兩氣田投產

Foxtrot International has brought fully on stream two new gas fields and completed a four-year, $850 million field development program in Block CI-27 offshore Ivory Coast.

According to RAK Petroleum’s statement on Monday, an oil and gas investment company who has a one-third ownership of Foxtrot through Mondoil Enterprises, two new gas fields, Marlin and Manta have been brought on stream. The fields were brought on stream following the installation of a four-legged platform and related processing and pipeline facilities and the drilling of one exploration and seven production wells. RAK said that the new platform, installed in 110 meters of water depth, doubles Block CI-27’s gas and liquids handling capacity and increases the reliability of gas deliveries to the Ivorian electrical sector. RAK reported that a reserves certification study by an independent petroleum engineering firm is expected to be completed shortly.

Foxtrot operates Block CI-27 with a 24 percent direct stake. Other partners on the block are the state oil company, PETROCI SA (40 percent), SECI SA (24 percent) and ENERCI SA (12 percent).
