SNEPCO’s #Bonga #FPSO turnaround reinforces Nigeria’s position in deepwater environment — Bolanle Floating Production Storage and Offloading (#FPSO) facilities are among the most complex assets in the offshore #oil and #gas #industry. Many FPSOs remain in service beyond their original life span, operating in harsh marine environments while processing #hydrocarbons continuously. This underscores the need in balancing production targets with #assetintegrity management. However, embarking on FPSO turnaround maintenance will temporarily halt or significantly reduce production, creating substantial revenue loss. Even a few days of downtime can result in millions of dollars in deferred revenue and can further increase financial losses and disrupt production targets depending on the FPSO production capacity and prevailing oil prices. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Republic, #SNEPCo’s Senior Operations Manager and Bonga FPSO Asset Manager, Bolanle Odunayo-Ojo, explains why FPSO turnaround maintenance should be seen as a long-term investment rather than a short-term revenue loss. In addition, she discussed the risks of neglecting critical offshore assets, with emphasis on the engineering and safety upgrades carried out during SNEPCO’s Bonga FPSO turnaround maintenance exercise, and what lessons other African operators can learn from it.
