Fossil Energy – Refurbishment
VAALCO Energy announced a milestone in its Côte d’Ivoire Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO) Dry Dock Refurbishment Project.
In alignment with the project timeline, the FPSO Baobab Ivoirien MV10, operated by Canadian Natural Resources International, ceased hydrocarbon production as scheduled on January 31, 2025.
The final lifting of crude oil from the vessel is set to take place on or around February 6, 2025.
The project team has commenced mobilization efforts, deploying the necessary workforce support vessels and equipment to facilitate the safe disconnection of the FPSO.
The FPSO unit will undergo the revamp in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to extend the production from the field, possibly beyond 2038.
