Deepwater Exploration and Production

Erha and Erha North Development

In March 2006, ExxonMobil affiliate Esso E&P Nigeria started production from the Erha deepwater development approximately 97 km offshore Nigeria in 1200 m of water. The Erha development includes Erha North, a satellite development that came on stream in September 2006. The Erha and Erha North Project consists of 32 subsea wells tied back to a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel. A catenary-anchor-leg-mooring (CALM) buoy is used for crude-carrier docking and product transfer.
