Akpo: A Giant Deep Offshore Development

Deep offshore developments are difficult to implement and often are beyond the limits of proven technologies at their inception. At plateau production, Akpo field, 200 km offshore Nigeria in 1400 m water depth, will produce and export 175,000 B/D of condensate and will export at startup 320 MMscf/D of gas to the Bonny liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) plant, onshore Nigeria.
