Block 17
Block 17 was one of the first deep-offshore blocks to be licensed in Angola. The block is located in deep water approximately 135 kilometres from the north-eastern part of Angola. Production from the block accounts for more than half of Equinor’s oil production in Angola. Block 17 oil reserves are being developed through production hubs, floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs) and via subsea well technology. Our equity interest in the block is 23.33%. Average daily equity production is 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Block 15
Situated approximately 145 kilometers off the northern coast of Angola. Equinor’s equity interest in the block is 13.33%. Average daily equity production is 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

The first production from phase I of the Kizomba satellite project was achieved in May 2012. Phase 2 of the Kizomba satellite project came on stream in May 2015. Production from the block currently comes from four floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs): Kizomba A, Kizomba B, Mondo and Saxi Batuque.
