Managing director Peter Botten announced today that operations and oil production have commenced from a number of Kutubu oil field wells at an initial rate of approximately 4,000 barrels of oil per day.
This follows a detailed assessment of all Oil Search-operated infrastructure, including the processing equipment, storage tanks and flow lines at the CPF, and minor remedial work to ensure the facility’s integrity.
With the CPF now operational, oil production from the Kutubu complex fields is expected to be brought back online progressively during April.
