Total SA started production at Moho Nord field 75 km offshore Pointe-Noire, Congo (Brazzaville). The project was designed with a production capacity of 100,000 boe/d.
Moho Nord field was developed through 34 wells tied back to a tension-leg platform and to Likouf, a floating production unit. Oil is processed on Likouf and then transported by pipeline to the Djeno onshore terminal.
Total said there will be no routine flaring to minimize environmental impact. An all-electric design improves energy efficiency. All produced water will be reinjected into the reservoir.
Moho Phase 1b and Moho Nord are part of the Moho Bilondo license operated by Total E&P Congo (OGJ Online, Dec. 11, 2015). Total holds 53% interest, Chevron Corp. 31.5%, and Societe Nationale des Petroles du Congo 15%.
