南尼奥拉平台位于安哥拉0号区块，该区块是安哥拉海上储量丰富的油气田，占该国每日能源产量的12%。

通过基础设施和技术降低成本

“在产量丰富的 0 号区块的支持下，南安哥拉油田安全实现首次产油，是雪佛龙为最大限度地提高我们在安哥拉现有海上资产的产量而做出的努力的最新例证，”雪佛龙海上业务总裁布伦特·格罗斯表示。

利用现有基础设施的剩余产能，实现了南尼奥拉油田的高效且经济的开发。新平台采用油田至生产设施回接方式。该回接方式连接至附近的马富梅拉设施，平台生产的油气在此进行加工，然后输送至终端出口。这种方式有助于避免在南尼奥拉油田建设单独的油气加工设备。

延续长期合作关系

南尼奥拉的成功标志着雪佛龙在安哥拉漫长历史中翻开了新的一页。

雪佛龙公司在安哥拉的经营历史已超过70年。如今，该公司通过其全资子公司卡宾达海湾石油有限公司（Cabinda Gulf Oil Co. Ltd.）在安哥拉运营着两个海上区块，分别是0号区块和深水14号区块。

雪佛龙公司通过其在安哥拉的业务，持续为安哥拉经济做出贡献。南尼奥拉油田在建设阶段预计将创造800多个当地就业岗位，如今投产后，将向安哥拉当地的工厂供应石油和天然气。

“雪佛龙和安哥拉政府携手合作超过70年，共同发展了该国蓬勃发展的能源产业——这是人民和伙伴关系如何推动进步的绝佳例证。”雪佛龙海上业务总裁布伦特·格罗斯说道。

The South N’dola Platform is in Block 0, the abundant offshore reservoir in Angola that is responsible for 12% of the country’s daily energy output.

Reducing costs through infrastructure, technology

“Underpinned by the prolific Block 0, safely achieving first oil at South N’dola is the latest example of Chevron’s efforts to maximise production from our existing offshore assets in Angola,” said Brent Gros, president of Chevron Offshore Business.

Taking advantage of spare capacity in existing infrastructure enabled efficient and cost-effective development of the South N’dola field. The new platform uses a field-to-production-facility tieback. The tieback connects to the nearby Mafumeira facility, where the oil and gas the platform produces are processed and then pumped to the terminal for export. This approach helps eliminate the need for separate oil and gas processing equipment at South N’dola.

Continuing a long partnership

The South N’dola success marks a new chapter in Chevron’s long history in Angola.

Chevron has been operating in Angola for more than 70 years. Today, the company operates two offshore tracts in Angola, Block 0 and deepwater Block 14, through a wholly owned subsidiary, Cabinda Gulf Oil Co. Ltd.

Through the company, Chevron continues to contribute to the Angolan economy. During its construction phase, South N’dola was expected to create more than 800 local jobs, and now that it is producing, it will deliver oil and gas to local Angolan plants.

“Chevron and the Angolan government have worked together for more than 70 years to develop the nation’s thriving energy industry – a fantastic example of how people and partnerships power progress.” said Brent Gros, President, Chevron Offshore Business.
