Due to the water depth in the area, Schiehallion is entirely reliant on subsea production technology and is collected on a floating production, storage and offloading vessel.
The Chinguetti development will include six production wells, four water injection wells, and a gas injector well, attached to a permanently moored floating production, storage and offloading vessel situated in about 800 metres of water.
The project (known as Quad 204) involves upgrading and replacing subsea facilities, as well as replacing the existing Schiehallion floating, production, storage and offloading vessel.
