Approved in 2016, the Greater Enfield Project involved the development of the Laverda Canyon, Norton over Laverda and Cimatti oil accumulations. The new production is connected to the Ngujima-Yin FPSO, located over the Vincent field, through a subsea tie-back.

In 2019 the Ngujima-Yin was refurbished at the Keppel Tuas Shipyard in Singapore, to equip the vessel in managing output from the Greater Enfield. In the meantime, production from the Vincent field remained suspended.

Currently, the project’s subsea infrastructure installation works and drilling of 12 development wells are complete.

Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said: “The delivery of Greater Enfield is further demonstration of Woodside’s capacity to execute the major projects that will underpin our next phase of growth.
