Shell's Bonga North Project Progresses with Tenaris Coating
The Bonga North deepwater development, valued at $5 billion and managed by Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo), has achieved a significant milestone with the completion of its pipe coating campaign by Tenaris in Onne, Rivers State. This development is crucial as it positions Nigeria to unlock 110,000 barrels per day in new production through a subsea tie-back to the Bonga Main Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility.
The coating campaign involved applying five-layer thermal insulation and three-layer polypropylene anti-corrosion systems, executed entirely in Nigeria. Ian Kellagher, Bonga North Project Director, indicated that the project is expected to reach peak production following the Final Investment Decision (FID) in December 2024, with first oil anticipated by the end of the decade.
The project is part of Nigeria's strategy to increase oil production to 3 million barrels per day by 2030. Tenaris also celebrated its 25th anniversary in Nigeria during this event.
