The Ndungu oil field in Angola is ready for a major upgrade. Eni, the challenge developers made the announcement and mentioned the upgrade will be accomplished following vital improve of useful resource base, due to a phased approach to untap the overall potential in an optimal means from a financial perspective, initially contributing to increase and improve the plateau of the Ngoma, a one hundred kbopd zero-discharge and zero-process flaring FPSO.
Ndungu field, is situated approximately a hundred thirty km off the coast and about 10 km from the Ngoma FPSO within the West Hub of Block 15/06. The Ndungu 2 appraisal properly was drilled 5 kilometres away from Ndungu-1 and stroke forty m of web oil pay (35°API) in the Lower Oligocene reservoirs with good petrophysical properties confirming the hydraulic communication with the discovery nicely.

Preliminary knowledge
The preliminary knowledge collected on Ndungu-2 allows to boost to 800 – 1000 million barrels of oil equivalent in place the sector resources from the preliminary estimates of 250-300 (post Ndungu-1), making Ndungu, along with Agogo, the biggest accumulation discovered in Block 15/06 since the block award.
The systematic and continuous Infrastructure-Led Exploration (ILX) effort carried out by Eni and its partners over the last three years, with the total help of ANPG and Angolan Authorities, leveraged leading edge technology and allowed to unlock vital extra potential in the complicated structural and stratigraphic traps inside Block 15/06.
This outcome additionally exhibits how Azule Energy, the recently introduced independent joint venture that mixes Eni and bp portfolios within the country, can count on a solid pipeline of recent projects beginning up over the next few years, including Agogo, Ndungu and PAJ oil initiatives in Blocks 15/06 and 31 respectively, in addition to the NGC fuel tasks.
