Navitas Petroleum expands Sea Lion oil field development
Navitas Petroleum has moved to accelerate the development of the Sea Lion oil field by exercising an option to acquire a second Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit, the OSX-1. The acquisition is valued at approximately $125 million and is expected to be completed next month.
This expansion aims to significantly increase production capacity, with targets rising from 55,000 barrels per day to as much as 180,000 barrels per day by the end of the decade. The project focuses on the Central Development Area (CDA) of the field.
Rockhopper Exploration, which holds a 35% stake and the Sea Lion license, announced it is planning a share capital increase to fund its portion of the new FPSO and cover related expenses. Local logistical operations are already underway, including port expansions and infrastructure to accommodate approximately 260 technical and manual workers.
