Reliance : FPSO on MA field


Reliance Industries has awarded a FPSO contract to Aker Floating Production. Aker Borgestad Operations will be in charge of operations and maintenance of the floating production, storage, and offloading vessel (FPSO) Aker Smart 1 at India’s MA field.The value of the five-year project is just over USD 100 million. The Reliance includes options to extend the contract period.

In May 2007, Aker Floating Production entered into a contract in excess of USD 750 million contract with Reliance for chartering of the Aker Smart 1 FPSO. The new contract with Aker Borgestad Operations expands the initial scope of work with Reliance to cover FPSO operations and maintenance. Under the contract, Aker Borgestad Operations will be in charge of both technical operations and FPSO operations for the production of oil, gas, and condensate from the MA field.

Aker Smart 1 will be deployed at the MA field, which is located at water depths of 1,000-1,400 meters, some 60 kilometers offshore eastern India. Production start-up will take place in two phases: oil production is scheduled for April 2008, and gas production will begin in the fall of 2008.

Word of Advice:

One more boost to the booming bootomline of RIL, this along with the likely production of Gas from KG basin in April- June  08 will boost the RIL revenue in the years to come.
