World's largest FPSO
Egina FPSO is currently the World's Largest FPSO.
Located some 130 kilometers off the coast of Nigeria at water depths of more than 1,500 meters, the Egina oil field is one of TotalEnergies most ambitious ultra-deep offshore projects. Primarily developed locally to accelerate the pace of Nigeria’s industrial fabric and the transfer of technology, then Egina project will produce 200,000 barrels of oil per day, i.e., close to 10% of the country’s total oil production.
Discovered in 2003, the Egina field is located at water depths of between 1,400 and 1,700 meters, 200 kilometers offshore from Port Harcourt. It is operated by TotalEnergies, which has a 24% stake, in partnership with NNPC, CNOOC, Sapetro and Petrobras.
The project is based on a subsea production system connected to a FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading vessel) designed to hold 2.3 million barrels of oil. Weighing close to 220,000 metric tons and measuring 330 meters long by 60 meters wide, the Egina FPSO is the largest ever built by TotalEnergies. The FPSO is connected to 44 subsea wells 1,600 meters deep and will produce 200,000 barrels of oil per day.
