Activities BJ Services Completes Major Subsea Ops Offshore Nigeria Type: Subsea Equipment

Nov. 2009 - A subsea pipeline pre-commissioning operation performed by BJ Services Company

was completed on the Akpo field in the Oil Mining Lease 130 Block, roughly 124 miles south of
Port Harcourt, Nigeria in water depths of 1,200 to 1,400 m (3,900 to 4,600 ft). The company
performed a series of pre-commissioning services on the field's flowlines and umbilicals. Akpo
achieved first production in March 2009, and peak production of 175,000 barrels (27,800 m3) of
condensate a day and 320 MMcf/d of gas is expected during the fourth quarter of 2009.
