USAN Project was a new field development in 750 m water depth and 100 km South of the Nigerian coast. USAN has been developed with 42 subsea wells connected to a 2 MMbbls storage FPSO via 2 production loops, 2 water injection lines and 1 gas injection line. The OML 138 block in Nigeria contains the USAN field which started production in February 2012.
