Azule Energy has successfully completed the Quiluma and Maboqueiro offshore platforms, marking a milestone for the New Gas Consortium (NGC) project.
The Quiluma deck departed from the Ambriz Petromar Yard in Bengo with a load-out and sail-away ceremony that highlighted Angola’s progress in non-associated gas development, according to the company.
Azule Energy emphasized the project’s strong safety record, achieving 2.5 million man-hours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI).
The NGC project brings together Azule Energy, Sonangol E&P, Chevron, and TotalEnergies in a strategic joint venture.
The project is set to deliver first gas by early 2026, supporting Angola’s natural gas supply.
As the country’s first non-associated gas initiative, the project will ensure a stable gas supply for the Soyo LNG plant, which has a 5.2 million metric tons per annum (5.2 MMTPA) capacity.
The NGC project focuses on exploring and producing gas from the Quiluma and Maboqueiro shallow-water fields.
The development includes two offshore platforms—Quiluma and Maboqueiro—and an onshore gas processing plant to optimize production.
