Italy’s Eni has started hydrocarbon production from the Miamte floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) at the Miztón field, located in the Campeche Bay, offshore Mexico
The field is located within the Development Project in Area 1 in the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 10km offshore Tabasco. The Area 1 includes three fields, the Amoca, Miztón, and Tecoalli.
Eni expects the FPSO to help in increasing production in the country.
The unit has undergone pre-commissioning and integrated commissioning activities, following its arrival in Mexico in January this year.
Eni said: “The vessel has been built following the most stringent specification, and the most advanced techniques, for ensuring the safety of the operations for the people and the environment. The construction has involved five yards in three different countries, including Mexico, maximising the involvement of local suppliers.”
