Resumption of production operations at Triton FPSO

Serica Energy plc (AIM: SQZ) announces that, having already completed repairs, scheduled maintenance work at the Triton FPSO has now also been completed and the process to restart production operations is underway.

Production will commence shortly and ramp up as each field tied back to the Triton FPSO is brought back onstream following the normal post maintenance start-up schedule, with a stable production level expected to be reached during July.

The Triton FPSO was delivering 25,000 boepd net to Serica immediately prior to the shutdown. This figure has the potential to be boosted through the addition of production from two new wells, both of which were delivered on schedule and under budget during the Triton downtime, the W7z well on the Guillemot North West field (Serica: 10%) and the EV02 well on the Evelyn field (Serica: 100%).

During the shutdown, extensive repairs to the inert gas marine system were completed, with over 100 components on the system either replaced or refurbished. Topside modifications were made in readiness to accept the start of production from the Belinda field expected in early 2026, significant safety critical maintenance work was also undertaken on the firewater system, and valves and sections of pipework across the FPSO were replaced. With work now complete, the normal start-up sequence has begun.

The work done is expected to improve operational performance of the Triton FPSO significantly going forward, and there are no further planned outages for the Triton FPSO in 2025.

The technical information contained in the announcement has been reviewed and approved by Fergus Jenkins, VP Technical at Serica Energy plc. Mr. Jenkins (MEng in Petroleum Engineering from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh) is a Chartered Engineer with over 25 years of experience in oil & gas exploration, development and production and is a member of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
