The FPSO Florence will enable the start-up of production from the Baleine field, currently the largest hydrocarbon discovery in Côte d’Ivoire, with an estimated 2.5 billion barrels of oil in place and 3.3 trillion cubic feet of associated gas. The Baleine development is also expected to become Africa’s first net-zero upstream project. Upon its arrival in Ivory Coast, the vessel will be renamed FPSO Baleine. The unit has been refurbished and upgraded to process up to 15,000 barrels of oil per day (bbl/d) and approximately 25 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d) of associated gas. All produced gas will be transported onshore through a newly constructed export pipeline.

The Bab Far North Full Field Development (BFN) Project is a major onshore oil field development in the United Arab Emirates. Led by ADNOC Onshore and managed by Kent PLC, the project aims to achieve a production plateau of 30,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) by implementing CO₂ Water Alternating Gas (CO₂-WAG), an advanced enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique that alternates the injection of carbon dioxide and water to maximize oil recovery from the reservoir.
