Total Exploration and Production president Arnaud Breuillac said: “Moho Nord is the biggest oil development to date in the Republic of the Congo. A showcase for Total’s deep offshore operational excellence, it consolidates our leading position in Africa.
"Moho Nord will contribute to the reinforcement of the cash-flow of the group and to its production growth."
The Moho Nord field has 34 wells that are tied back to a new tension leg platform and to Likouf, a new floating production unit. Oil is first processed on Likouf before being transported through a pipeline to the Total-operated Djeno onshore terminal.
