Subsurface Description
The Tombua and Landana fields,
discovered in 1997 and 2001 by the
Tombua-1 and 14-6X/6XST1 wells,
respectively, lie in the eastern part
of Block 14 and cover over 164 mi2
(425 km2) in water depths of 900
ft to 1,700 ft (274 m to 518 m).
Geographically, they are situated just
south of the Lobito Field and north of
the Gabela oil discoveries.
Subsurface dataincluding
3-D seismic, multiple reservoir
penetrations, well tests, and wireline
logs and corehave been acquired. To
predict the reservoirs performance,
this data has been incorporated into
3-D geologic and simulation models
using state-of-the-art technology.

Purchase Order
The EPC contract for subsea
equipment was awarded to Vetco
Gray, U.K. in September 2006.
Fabrication of the manifolds at the
Sonamet yard in Lobito started
in August 2007. Vetco Gray U.K.
engineered, procured, fabricated,
inspected, tested, and delivered the
subsea equipment, including the tree
system, manifolds and well jumpers
and production control systems.

Zero Flaring
Tombua Landana is designed for zero routine gas flaring and zero
discharge of produced water. Associated natural gas will be processed
and stored in Block 0 until the Angola Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
project is ready, eliminating millions of pounds of CO2 that otherwise
would be released into the atmosphere through flaring.
Angolan Content
The Tombua Landana project plan uses over US$265 million of local content.
The plan maximizes the capabilities of Angolan engineering, procurement,
construction, and installation. The project has also used a new pipeline coating
plant, located in Luanda, for all subsea flowline pipe-coating operations.
Development of Angolan
Professionals
Operations Training
Chevron currently employs more
than 2,900 national employees
in Angola, accounting for 86% of
the companys total workforce in
the country. The Tombua Landana
projects goal is for 90% of the
operations workforce to be Angolan.
To meet this goal, our Angolan
recruits undergo an intensive
training program that combines
classroom instruction with
on-the-job training.
Cabinda Gulf Oil Company (CABGOC)
Learning and Development Center
is Chevrons training center in
Malongo, the companys center of
operations in Angola. Because of
the large number of people being
trained, the center became full.
To provide an additional resource,
Chevron augmented Angola training
On-the-Job Training
After completing the U.S.-based
training program, the future Tombua
Landana operators participated in
16 months of on-the-job training,
fine-tuning their skills offshore
Angola. By working on various
production platforms and interacting
with other Angolan and expatriate
operations personnel, the Tombua
Landana trainees continue to
build their knowledge and set the
foundation for a successful startup
of Tombua Landana.
