Successful handover of BW Adolo operations to BW Energy Gabon SA
BW Offshore Limited ("BW Offshore") and BW Energy Limited ("BW Energy") announce
that, with effect from 20 May 2025, operations and maintenance ("O&M") of the
FPSO BW Adolo have been handed over to BW Energy's subsidiary, BW Energy Gabon
SA ("BW Energy Gabon").
Under an amended bareboat charter, BW Offshore's subsidiary retains ownership of
the unit and will continue to lease the FPSO to BW Energy Gabon on the same
terms as previously agreed without the O&M services. The charter includes a
mutual put-and-call option on the FPSO for USD 100 million, exercisable in
2028. The parties have been working and will continue to work together on the
transition until 30 June 2025 to ensure a safe and uninterrupted transfer of
operations.
"Transferring daily operational control of BW Adolo to BW Energy Gabon is a
natural step given their growing presence in Gabon and potential to capture
efficiencies across the local organisation," said Marco Beenen, the CEO of BW
Offshore. "The seamless execution reflects the commitment of both teams to
safeguard personnel, the environment, and asset integrity."
"Assuming full O&M responsibility will allow BW Energy Gabon to optimise field
performance and capture additional synergies across the Dussafu hub. We thank BW
Offshore for its exemplary stewardship of the vessel and its continued support
during the transition phase," said Carl K. Arnet, the CEO of BW Energy.
Both companies extend their appreciation to all offshore and onshore personnel
who have maintained BW Adolo in a safe and efficient manner over the past seven
years and look forward to sustained strong operational performance under BW
Energy's leadership. The unit remains deployed on the Dussafu Marin licence
offshore Gabon, where it has produced safely since first oil in 2018.
