The giant Agbami Field is the largest deepwater discovery offshore Nigeria to date. It is estimated to hold potentially recoverable volumes of 900 million barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and is expected to reach a maximum daily production rate of 250,000 barrels by year-end 2009. The cornerstone of the development is one of the world's largest floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, shown here as it was towed to the site. Key components of the FPSO were fabricated in Nigeria, setting a benchmark for using Nigerian goods, labor and services. Agbami represents not only a new source of energy supply, but also provides employment and economic opportunities for Nigeria.
