Comments
Amerada Hess Equatorial Guinea, Inc., is developing the Northern Block G, offshore Rio Muni, Equatorial Guinea. The development is planned to have forty-three (43) wells drilled with a combination of oil producers with gas lift, water injection and gas injection. Approximately twenty-three (23) wells will be drilled and completed from two (2) TLPs. One of the TLPs will be located in 275 m (902 ft) of water, and the other will be in 510 m (1,673 ft) of water. There will be nineteen (19) wells drilled and completed from three (3) fixed platforms. The first equipment deliveries are scheduled for July 2006.
