Stretching to 860 square kilometres, the field was discovered in 1999 and has estimated reserves of between 1.5 and 3 billion barrels. Today the major shareholder in the extracting of the natural gas is British Petroleum, with a stake of 29%.
CPCL was commissioned by BP and KBR to design and supply the materials for the impressed current cathodic protection of an onshore plant, in a continuing contract valued at, to date, £650,000.
