The current production capacity of the field is 35,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd). It is expected to increase to 230,000bopd. The construction of the initial surface facilities for production has been completed. The facilities include a degassing facility with two trains of 50,000 barrels a day each, eight storage tanks, piping, atmosphere flares and other ancillary infrastructure. Scope of work entails construction of a new gas treatment plant with capacity of 170 million cubic feet a day and a central processing facility with (3 Nos.) 55,000 barrel a day production trains.
