1 INTRODUCTION
VAALCO Gabon (Etame) Inc. is planning on expanding the development of its Etame-Marin field
offshore of Gabon, West Africa. The Etame-Marin Field is located approximately 320 kilometers
southeast of Port Gentil, Gabon and approximately 32 kilometers offshore in 85 meters water depth.

The Etame Expansion Project scope includes the transportation and installation of 2 new fixed
platforms (Etame and SEENT), subsea equipment such as pipelines, flexible flowlines, spools and
valve/WYE skids, and the relocation of existing flexible flowlines. The new Etame WHP will serve as a
first stage processing facility for up to 6 new dry tree wells, 2 existing subsea wells, and 2 future
subsea wells. The Etame WHP products will be exported to an FPSO located about 2.4 km away east
of the platform. The new SEENT WHP production platform will supply fuel gas to the FPSO.
