Habshan 7 is a major gas processing expansion project within the Habshan Gas Processing Complex, located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Developed by ADNOC as Phase 3 of the Rich Gas Development (RGD) programme, the project involves the construction of a seventh gas processing train to increase processing capacity and recover greater volumes of high-value products, including LPG, naphtha and condensates.

The FPSO Florence will enable the start-up of production from the Baleine field, currently the largest hydrocarbon discovery in Côte d’Ivoire, with an estimated 2.5 billion barrels of oil in place and 3.3 trillion cubic feet of associated gas. The Baleine development is also expected to become Africa’s first net-zero upstream project. Upon its arrival in Ivory Coast, the vessel will be renamed FPSO Baleine. The unit has been refurbished and upgraded to process up to 15,000 barrels of oil per day (bbl/d) and approximately 25 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d) of associated gas. All produced gas will be transported onshore through a newly constructed export pipeline.
