CLIENT SPECIFICS

Rosa is located at 15km from the Girassol FPSO. It was the very first oil field of this size in deep waters to be linked to a FPSO.

Purpose: to enable Total, who operates the Girassol field at 150Km off the Angolan coast, to pump crude oil from a second underwater field (Rosa) from the same floating unit.
