The Shah Sour Gas Plant is one of the main sour gas treatment plants in the United Arab Emirates. The project involves the expansion and integration of new facilities into the existing plant to increase the treatment capacity of the highly sour gas produced from the Shah Arab Sour Gas Field. Its objective is to increase the complex’s capacity to approximately 1.45 BSCFD, improve product recovery and contribute to the security of gas supply in the United Arab Emirates.

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.
