MODEC IVORY COAST
FPSO MV10 Baobab, Offshore Ivory Coast
The FPSO Kwame Nkrumah MV21 is situated in approximately 1,100 metres water depth on the Jubilee Field, which is one of the largest oil fields discovered offshore West Africa in the past 10 years. It is operated by MODEC on behalf of Tullow Oil.
The FPSO is capable of processing more than 120,000 barrels of oil per day, and injecting more than 230,000 barrels of water per day and 160 MMscfd of produced gas. The FPSO is designed to remain on the field for up to 20 years.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
ICE were awarded the contract in 2019 as part of the FPSO Baobab MV10 Life Extension Programme to improve living conditions and increase the number of people on board. MODEC planned to upgrade the full A-Deck area. The twenty two existing cabins and associated corridors were in poor condition, as might be expected after almost 15 years of use.
Each cabin needed to be modernised with new flame retardant furniture, B15 walls, ceilings and doors, electrics, plumbing and flooring. Each cabin refit also included a new marine specification flat pack Wet Unit. All new materials were specified to current IMO and fire rated marine standards.
