Chevron went ahead and produced first oil at its South N’dola offshore platform in Angola, which is indeed quite a major step reached slightly over two years after construction started.
The platform is based in Block 0, which is an offshore producing area that comprises almost 12% of the daily energy output of Angola.
It is well to be noted that the development of South N’dola offshore platform went on to be supported by way of making use of the available capacity in the present infrastructure, which is an approach that is described as looking out for efficiency and that too at a lower cost.
The offshore platform in Angola goes on to depend on a field-to-production-facility tieback to the nearby Mafumeira facility, wherein the output is processed much before being sent to a terminal for export. This sort of method eradicates the requirement when it comes to distinct oil and gas processing units located at South N’dola.
Brent Gros, Chevron offshore business president, said that underpinned by the prolific Block 0, safely attaining first oil at South N’dola is indeed the latest example of the efforts by Chevron to maximize the production from their present offshore assets based in Angola.
Chevron goes on to claim that it has maintained operations within Angola for more than 70 years. The company runs two offshore zones – Block 0 as well as the deepwater Block 14 through Cabinda Gulf Oil, which is its completely owned subsidiary.
During the construction phase, South N’dola was anticipated to generate more than 800 local jobs.
Now in complete operation, it offers oil and gas to facilities across Angola.
Gros went on to add that Chevron, along with the Angolan government, has worked with each other for over 70 years in order to develop the thriving energy industry of the nation, which is indeed quite a fantastic example of how people as well as partnerships power progress.
It was earlier in September 2025 that Chevron, in collaboration with Helleniq Energy, went on to submit a bid when it comes to natural gas exploration across four offshore blocks located in Greece.
