Resumption of production operations at Triton FPSO

 

Serica Energy plc (AIM: SQZ) announces that, having already completed repairs,
scheduled maintenance work at the Triton FPSO has now also been completed and
the process to restart production operations is underway.

 

Production will commence shortly and ramp up as each field tied back to the
Triton FPSO is brought back onstream following the normal post maintenance
start-up schedule, with a stable production level expected to be reached
during July.

 

The Triton FPSO was delivering 25,000 boepd net to Serica immediately prior to
the shutdown. This figure has the potential to be boosted through the addition
of production from two new wells, both of which were delivered on schedule and
under budget during the Triton downtime, the W7z well on the Guillemot North
West field (Serica: 10%) and the EV02 well on the Evelyn field (Serica: 100%).

 

During the shutdown, extensive repairs to the inert gas marine system were
completed, with over 100 components on the system either replaced or
refurbished. Topside modifications were made in readiness to accept the start
of production from the Belinda field expected in early 2026, significant
safety critical maintenance work was also undertaken on the firewater system,
and valves and sections of pipework across the FPSO were replaced. With work
now complete, the normal start-up sequence has begun.

 

The work done is expected to improve operational performance of the Triton
FPSO significantly going forward, and there are no further planned outages for
the Triton FPSO in 2025.
