The West Hub Tails project supports the redirection of production from the Sangos, Ochigufu, Mpungi, and Vandumbu fields—which have been on stream since 2014 via the Ngoma FPSO—to the newly installed Agogo FPSO.

As Ngoma approaches the end of its design life, all production will be diverted to Agogo, which has been built to modern standards that significantly reduce emissions. Under the agreement, SLB OneSubsea will design and deliver the additional controls umbilicals required to enable this transition.

The award builds on SLB OneSubsea’s extensive history of umbilical deliveries to Azule Energy across the West Hub production centers and the broader IWH development, including the Agogo and Ndungu tie-backs. This track record has established SLB OneSubsea as a trusted long-term partner supporting Azule Energy’s full-field development strategy in Block 15/06.

“This award reflects the strength of our partnership with Azule Energy and our shared commitment to efficient field development at a time when maximizing recovery is an increasing priority for operators,” said Maria Peralta, vice president, Umbilical & Cable Systems, SLB OneSubsea. “By enabling the transition of production to the new Agogo FPSO, we are helping Azule Energy extend the life of the West Hub fields while supporting a meaningful reduction in emissions intensity; a testament to how proven subsea infrastructure can deliver operational continuity and decarbonized production.”
