Eni operates the block holding a 35% interest, while the remaining interest is held between Total (15%), Sonangol (15%), SSI (25%), Statoil (5%) and Falcon Oil Angola Investimentos (5%).

In February 2014, Total sold its share of interest in the field to Sonangol for $750m. The block was earlier awarded to the partners during 2006 licensing round in Angola.

Under the contract, Saipem will provide five flexible risers and 20km of rigid flowlines.

In addition, SURF facilities including umbilical sections, rigid spools, well jumpers and 14 PLETs would be fabricated in Angola.

The project is slated for completion by the end of 2016.
