Production Start-up at Fenix Offshore Gas Field, Argentina
London, September 23, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––TotalEnergies announces the start of production from the Fenix gas field, located 60 km off the coast of Tierra del Fuego in Southern Argentina.
The Fenix field is part of the Cuenca Marina Austral 1 (CMA-1) concession, in which TotalEnergies holds a 37.5% operated interest, alongside its partners Harbour Energy (37.5%) and Pan American Energy (25%).
With a production capacity of 10 million cubic meters per day (70,000 boe/d), the Fenix development consists of a new unmanned platform, located in 70 meters water depth and connected to the existing CMA-1 facilities. Gas produced at Fenix is sent through a 35-kilometer subsea pipeline to the TotalEnergies-operated Véga Pléyade platform and is subsequently treated onshore at the Río Cullen and Cañadon Alfa facilities, which are also operated by the Company. Fenix is a low cost, low emissions development, with a carbon intensity of 9 kg CO2e/boe, leveraging on the existing infrastructure.
“The start-up of Fenix production safely and ahead of schedule, only two years after FID, demonstrates the capacity of our Company to deliver its projects. Fenix will contribute to maintaining our gas production plateau in Tierra del Fuego and ensure a reliable supply to the Argentinean gas market” said Javier Rielo, Senior Vice President Americas, Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies. “With its low break-even and low carbon intensity, Fenix perfectly matches the Company’s low-cost and low-emission strategy.”
