📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
Expected to begin production in 2028, the Kaminho deepwater project in the Kwanza basin, involves the conversion of a very large crude carrier to a floating production storage and offloading unit, which will be linked to a subsea production network. TotalEnergies and its partners have reached the final investment decision (FID) on the Kaminho deepwater project in Block 20/11 to develop the Cameia and Golfinho fields off the coast of Angola.
The deepwater project involves the conversion of a very large crude carrier (VLCC) to a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit, which will be linked to a subsea production network.
Located 100km off the coast, and in a water depth of 1,700m, the Kaminho project is said to be the first large deepwater development in the Kwanza basin. Targeting first production by 2028, the Kaminho project is expected to yield an estimated 70,000 barrels of oil per day.
The production at the Kaminho deepwater project is slated to commence in 2028, with an expected peak production of 70,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd). This project, which leverages innovation to fit with our investment criteria – breakeven under 30 $/b and carbon intensity of 16 kg CO2e/boe – will become our seventh FPSO in the country and the first-ever development in the Kwanza basin.
Vallourec will supply its range of VAM connections and use CLEANWELL, its more environmentally friendly, dope-free solution. The group will also provide its offshore expertise via VAM Field Service, as well as its Tubular Management Services (TMS) offering. This involves managing the inspection and preparation of tubes before they leave for the drilling platform, and on their return to the storage area
