Industrial Greases

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 Rhourde El Baguel LPG Extraction Plant is a facility designed to treat associated gas from oil production and recover LPG, condensate and dry gas. The project is linked to the Rhourde El Baguel production complex, one of Sonatrach’s Oil & Gas assets in Algeria. It has a planned processing capacity of approximately 10 million m³/day of associated gas. Expected output is estimated at around 1,000 t/day of LPG, 300 t/day of condensate and 8.7 million m³/day of dry gas.
