The Neptun Deep Project is a deepwater offshore project located in the Romanian sector of the Black Sea. With OMV Petrom as operator, the project involves the development of the Domino and Pelican South gas fields through 11 offshore wells, 3 subsea infrastructure, a production platform and a pipeline to shore. Its objective is to enhance the value of the Black Sea natural gas resources, increase Romania’s domestic production and strengthen the country’s energy supply security.

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.
