周四，意大利石油公司埃尼集团与其合作伙伴PetroCi一起庆祝了FPSO Firenze号驶离象牙海岸的大型Baline油气田。
离开迪拜的FPSO Firenze将允许科特迪瓦最大的碳氢化合物发现Baline油田的生产启动。
据埃尼集团称，Baline油田(法语：“Whale”)估计有25亿桶石油和3.3万亿立方英尺的伴生气。
埃尼集团表示：“Baline的开发也将是非洲第一个净零排放项目(范围1和2)。”
FPSO Firenze在抵达科特迪瓦后将更名为Baline，经过翻新和升级，可处理高达15000桶/日的石油和约25百万立方英尺/日的伴生气。
整个天然气生产将通过新建的出口管道输送到陆上。
埃尼集团周四表示，海底生产系统的安装和完井活动正在进行中，以确保在2023年6月前启动生产。
埃尼集团表示：“埃尼集团的分阶段开发模式和快速通道已被证明是有效的，因为该项目将在Baline 1X发现井不到2年的时间内开始生产，在FID后一年半。埃尼集团已经在项目的第二阶段取得了迅速进展，预计在2022年12月进行FID后，将于2024年12月开始生产。”。
Baleline油田在区块CI-101和CI-802上延伸。埃尼集团还拥有科特迪瓦深水区其他四个区块的权益：CI-205、CI-501、CI-401和CI-801，所有这些区块都与同一合作伙伴PetroCi Holding合作。

FPSO En Route to Develop Ivory Coast's Largest Offshore Field
Italian oil firm Eni, with its partner PetroCi, on Thursday celebrated the sail away of the FPSO Firenze to the giant Baleine oil and gas field offshore Ivory Coast.
The FPSO Firenze, which sailed away from Dubai, will allow the production start-up of the Baleine field, Ivory Coast's largest hydrocarbon discovery.
According to Eni, the Baleine field, “Whale” in French, has an estimated oil in place of 2.5 billion barrels and 3.3 trillion cubic feet of associated gas.
"The development of Baleine will also be Africa's first net-zero emission project (Scope 1 and 2)," Eni said.
The FPSO Firenze, to be renamed Baleine after arrival in Ivory Coast, has been refurbished and upgraded in order to allow it to treat up to 15,000 bbl/d of oil and around 25 Mcfd/d of associated gas.
The entire gas production will be delivered onshore via a newly built export pipeline.
Enis aid Thursday that the installation of the subsea production system and well completion campaign were underway and to ensure production start-up by June 2023.
"Eni's phased development model and fast track have proven to be effective, as the project is set to start production less than 2 years from the Baleine 1X discovery well and one and a half years after the FID. Eni is already progressing swiftly on the second phase of the project forecasting a start-up of production by December 2024 after having taken the FID in December 2022," Eni said.
The Baleine field extends over blocks CI-101 and CI-802. Eni also owns interests in four other blocks in the Ivorian deep water: CI-205, CI-501, CI-401, and CI-801, all with the same partner, PetroCi Holding.
