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.

The Talimarjan Power Project is an energy project at the Talimarjan Thermal Power Plant, in Nuristan, Uzbekistan. The project involves the expansion and upgrade of the power plant through gas-fired Combined Cycle Gas Turbine — CCGT units, with the aim of increasing the country’s power generation efficiency, reliability and capacity. Originally developed under the CAREC/ADB framework and implemented by Talimarjan TPP, the project contributes to the modernization of Uzbekistan’s power sector and to national energy security.
