Where is the Akpo gas field located in Nigeria?

Akpo fields Discovered in 2000, the Akpo field is located in ultra deepwater of Nigeria. Situated on OML 130 approximately 200 kilometres (124 mi) from Port Harcourt, Akpo’s water depths range from 1,100 to 1,700 metres (3,600 to 5,600 feet). A gas and condensate field, Akpo is operated by Total, holding a 24% interest in the project.

When was the first Akpo gas produced?

Akpo achieved first production in March 2009, and peak production of 175,000 barrels (27,800 m 3) of condensate a day and 320 million cubic feet (9.1 million cubic metres) per day of gas is expected during the fourth quarter of 2009. This Rivers State location article is a stub.
