Kizomba A and B: Installation Overview

Completing the Kizomba A and B projects with world-class schedule performance was a rare opportunity that yielded outstanding results. These two projects, within 7 miles of each other in Block 15 offshore Angola, were brought on line 11 months apart. Kizomba B built upon experience gained from Kizomba A to improve performance from contract award to the start of production. Continuous implementation of lessons learned and repeat use of Kizomba A prime contractors and ExxonMobil personnel resulted in time savings and installation-activities flexibility that ultimately contributed to an improved first-oil date for Kizomba B.
