Overview
Kuito crude oil is produced in Angola and is exported from the Kuito Floating Production Storage Offtake Vessel (FPSO). The Single Point Buoy Mooring (SBM), which is 30 miles from the Cabinda SBM, can accommodate Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) loading. The typical cargo size is 920 thousand barrels but alternate cargo sizes can be arranged with advance planning. Typically, the cargoes are sold with pricing based off Brent (Dated) quotes. The current production rate of the contributing fields is approximately 90 thousand barrels per day. Chevron has a 31% interest in the concession.
Note: Acid number is an industry standard that responds to acids as well as other molecules. The test does not discriminate between organic or inorganic acids. For Kuito the blended back acid is only 1.1 mg KOH/G.
