Floating Dock Set to Anchor Namibia's Oil Boom
Namibia's oil and gas sector is on the cusp of a transformative breakthrough as TotalEnergies moves closer to securing a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO)vesselforitsultra-deepwaterVenusdevelopment. TheFPSOcontract,nowinits final bidding stages, will play a crucial role in unlocking the massive 2 billion barrels of recoverableoillyingbeneath3000metresofwaterintheOrangeBasin.
An FPSO is a floating oil production facility designed to process hydrocarbons at sea, store crude oil, and offload it onto tankers for transport. This technology is a game-changer for remote offshore fields like Venus, where building traditional seabed pipelines to shore wouldbeeconomicallyunfeasible.
By deploying an FPSO, TotalEnergies can bypass the costly and time-consuming infrastructure that onshore processing would require. Venus is not only one of the deepest discoveries in Namibia's waters but also one of themostcomplex. Apartfromoil,thefieldholds anestimated8.7trillioncubicfeetofassociated gas, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity

Hanwha Ocean is emerging as the frontrunner for the contract, ahead of competitors such as Dutch offshore specialist SBM Offshore Hanwha's advantage lies in its pre-approved FPSO design, which has already received approval from classification bodies like the American Bureau of Shipping and Bureau Veritas.Ifawardedthecontract,Hanwha'sFPSO willbecapableofprocessing160000barrelsof oil and 500 million cubic feet of gas per day Namibia's emergence as a potential energy powerhouse is driven by a series of discoveries intheOrangeBasin,withShellandGalpEnergia also making major finds. Galp's shallower MopaneprojectisracingagainstVenustobethe country's first producing oilfield, with plans for itsownFPSOdeployment.
The appeal of FPSOs extends beyond Venus. Thesevesselsofferaflexibleandcost-effective solution for offshore oil and gas extraction, particularly for new markets like Namibia, where infrastructure is still developing. Unlike traditional rigs, FPSOs can be redeployed to other locations once a field is depleted, making them a sustainable option for frontier energy developments.
TotalEnergies is expected to finalise its FPSO selection by early this year, with first oil productiontargetedfor2029.
