PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Bonga North ‘BN’ project is a greenfield oil development located in the Gulf of Guinea, approximately 130km offshore in water depths ranging from 900m to 1300m. The field lies predominantly within OML 118 (originally OPL 212) operated by Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo). SNEPCo (55%) operates the OML 118 license on behalf of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in partnership with Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria Ltd. (ESSO - 20%), Nigerian Agip Exploration Ltd. (NAE - 12.5%) and Total Energies Exploration and Production Nigeria Ltd (TEPNG - 12.5%).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The BN Tranche 1 development comprises high-graded/creamed 7 Producer and 7 Injector wells. from three (3) reservoirs, leveraging available ullage. There is an opportunity to include 6 Infill wells (3P+3WI) to mature additional volumes as an optional scope. The development comprises a Deepwater Subsea Production and Water Injection extension from the Bonga Main (BM) FPSO tied back through new SURF infrastructure on the West side of the existing BM FPSO. BN Tranche-1 development will be enabled by the BM Life Extension project which aims to extend the BM FPSO and ancillary assets life by 10 years post 2025. The subsea architecture is shown in the schematic in Fig 1.2.

Figure 1.2 – Bonga North Tranche-1 Schematic
The Well streams flow to the FPSO via single, wet-insulated, 12-inch (Nominal Diameter), production flow loop (Dual line). PDC-1, PDC-2, PDC-3 & PDC-4 are daisy chained. A single bare, 14-inch (Nominal Diameter) water line supplies WDC-1, WDC-2 & WDC-3. Gas lift will be provided by Bundled Gas Lift Umbilical (BGLU) with 8 x 1.5-inch centre steel cores supplying the gas lift to the riser base serving both Production risers. Chemical Injection shall be by continuous Corrosion Injection during steady state and Methanol Injection at Start-up and Shutdowns. The Subsea Production and Injection Trees are to be controlled and operated via two dedicated Umbilicals from the Bonga FPSO serving both Production and Water Injection clusters. The primary oil and gas processing facilities remain unchanged as the premise for the subsea tie-back of BN to Bonga FPSO is to fill ullage. There are no planned changes or additions to the inlet separators, gas treating, or gas compression facilities. However, modifications and upgrades to existing facilities, utilities and control systems are required to operate Bonga North. Water injection system upgrades and a major control system upgrade will be required on the Bonga Main FPSO. The additional equipment for BN Topsides will be managed within the available space on the Bonga Main FPSO.
