en.Wedoany.com Reported - MODEC, a floating production solutions provider headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, announced on June 16 that the FPSO Baobab Ivoirien has safely resumed oil production on June 4, 2026, following the completion of a major life extension and refurbishment project in Dubai.

The FPSO, which serves the Baobab oilfield located approximately 65 kilometers southwest of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, underwent an extensive life extension and long-term operability enhancement program.

MODEC was responsible for the project execution of this life extension and refurbishment. The FPSO was delivered on schedule to the client CNR International S.A.R.L. ("CNR"), with the entire project accumulating over 6.7 million man-hours without any lost time incidents.

After completing the refurbishment in Dubai, the FPSO sailed back to Côte d'Ivoire, where it was safely reconnected, commissioned, and prepared for production. The resumption of production marks the successful conclusion of this complex modification project and opens a new chapter for the Baobab oilfield.

In February 2025, MODEC transferred ownership of the FPSO to CNR and terminated the lease contract. Following the sale, the FPSO was renamed "FPSO Baobab Ivoirien," and MODEC will continue to provide operations and maintenance (O&M) services, with the current service contract valid until December 2026.
