Fossil Energy – Gas Production
bp has confirmed start-up of gas production from the Quiluma field, part of the New Gas Consortium (NGC) in Angola, as reported by operator Azule Energy.
This milestone continues the strong delivery of project start-ups and exploration discoveries for Azule Energy – a 50:50 joint venture between bp and Eni.
Initial production from the Quiluma field is expected to be 150 million standard cubic feet (mmscf) per day and ramp up to 330mmscf per day by the end of 2026.
The NGC project is Angola’s first non-associated gas development. Gas is produced from the shallow water offshore Quiluma field, which is treated at an onshore processing facility and then delivered to the Angola LNG plant for export.
