Shell and Sunlink Energies. have taken FID on the HI gas project offshore Nigeria. When completed, the project will supply 350 MMscfd of gas at peak production to Nigeria LNG.
Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Co. Ltd. (SNEPCo) and Sunlink Energies and Resources Ltd. have taken a final investment decision on the HI gas project offshore Nigeria.
When completed, the project will supply 350 MMscfd (about 60,000 boe/d) of gas at peak production to Nigeria LNG.
The HI project consists of a wellhead platform with four wells to be installed at HI field, a pipeline to transport the multiphase gas onshore at Bonny, and a gas processing plant at Bonny. Processed gas will be transported to Nigeria LNG and condensate will go to the Bonny Oil and Gas Export Terminal.
HI field was discovered in 1985 and lies in 100 m of water about 50 km from shore. Its current estimated recoverable resource volumes are about 285 MMboe.
The HI project is a joint venture between Sunlink Energies and Resources (60%) and SNEPCo (40%). Shell has 25.6% interest in Nigeria LNG.
