French giant Total has started the bidding process for a newbuild floating production, storage and offloading vessel destined for its deep-water Egina project off Nigeria.
Prequalification documents have been released covering a vessel designed to store 2 million barrels of crude and with a topsides weight of about 34,000 tonnes — at least 4000 tonnes more than some sources had been predicting.
The oil and gas-handling specifications have yet to be defined although earlier expectations were that the floater would be equipped to process about 220,000 barrels per day of crude and 360 million cubic feet per day of gas.
