The giant Agbami Field is one of the largest deepwater oil offshore discoveries in Nigeria. It's estimated to hold potentially recoverable volumes of 900 million barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and is expected to reach a maximum daily production rate of 250,000 barrels. The cornerstone of the development is one of the world's largest floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels. Key components of the FPSO were fabricated in Nigeria, setting a benchmark for using Nigerian goods, labor and services. Agbami represents not only a new source of energy supply, but also provides employment and economic opportunities for Nigeria.
