Overview
Agbami is Nigeria's largest deepwater development, a light, sweet crude oil
produced 70 miles offshore. Loading will be accomplished via a single buoy
mooring (SBM) located 1.2 miles from the Agbami floating production, storage
and offloading (FPSO) vessel. With an overall storage capacity of 2.15 million
barrels the Agbami FPSO is one of the largest facilities of this type ever
constructed. Production will begin in 2008 and quickly ramp up to 230,000
barrels per day, with peak production of 250,000 barrels per day expected in
2010. Agbami's location will allow for co-load opportunities with heavier West
African grades.
Preliminary tests have shown Agbami to have very low levels of contaminants such
as vanadium, nickel, and iron. The acid number is also low (less than 0.05 mg
KOH/g), which is normal for this type of crude oil. Typical yield patterns for
Agbami may be seen in the PDF attachments.
Agbami is expected to be of value to less complex refiners, especially those
with no vacuum residuum conversion, limited hydrotreating/sulfur recovery and
limited cracking capacity.
