The Cabaça North project forms part of the East Hub Development Project, which also involves the development of the Cabaça South-East discovery.

Eni in a statement said: “The start-up of Cabaça North is yet another example of how Eni Angola, in full cooperation with ANPG and partners, keeps creating value on Block 15/06 through its infrastructure-led exploration strategy, generating a pipeline of fast-track subsea tie-backs, thus maximising the utilisation of existing facilities in the area in a sustainable manner.”

With an anticipated peak production capacity of 15,000bopd, the Cabaça North development is expected to increase and sustain the Armada Olombendo FPSO’s plateau production.

The Armada Olombendo FPSO also receives and treats the production of Cabaça, Cabaça South East and UM8 fields. These include a total of 12 wells and five manifolds.
