Production is taking place through the Armada Olombendo Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel, which can generate up to 80,000 bpd and compress up to 3.4 million cubic metres of gas per day, the company said.

The field is in Block 15/06, which is operated by Eni with a 35.83 percent stake, while Sonangol also controls 36.84 percent and the SSI Fifteen Limited has the remaining stake.

The East Pole production will add on to output of West Pole, which produces 75,000 bpd, Sonangol said.

“The production of Block 15/06 will reach this year approximately 150,000 barrels of oil per day,” Sonangol said in a statement.
