Greater Plutonio Terminal
Block 18,
offshore Angola, is home to the Greater Plutonio Terminal, a
sophisticated facility serving multiple oil fields. This development encompasses five separate
fields: Galio, Cromio, Paladio, Plutonio, and Cobalto. Located roughly 100 miles northwest of Luanda
in water depths ranging from 1,200 to 1,600 meters, the Greater Plutonio
Terminal is a marvel of modern engineering.
The
centerpiece of the terminal is a spread-moored FPSO, a floating production,
storage, and offloading vessel. This
state-of-the-art facility is entirely electric, maximizing energy efficiency. In 2020, the Greater Plutonio Terminal
celebrated
a major milestone: delivering its 600-millionth barrel of oil, a testament to
its productivity. The partners behind
this success story include BP, Sinopec International, and Sonangol P&P.
