Shell has restarted preparatory activity on Nigeria’s long-delayed Bonga South West-Aparo offshore oil project by launching a new tender process for a floating production, storage, and offloading unit.

The tender was launched by Shell as part of early-stage work on the project, located offshore Nigeria in deep waters.

The company had estimated the overall development cost of the Bonga South West-Aparo project at about $12 billion.

The project is located in the OML 118 block, southwest of the producing Bonga Field, one of Nigeria’s largest deep offshore oil developments.
