Total Starts up CLOV in Angola's Block 17
French oil major Total said it had started production on Thursday on the CLOV development on offshore block 17 which it operates in Angola.
CLOV is the fourth floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit on block 17 and will contribute to bringing the block's production to 700,000 barrels a day, Total said in a statement.
Total had said previously it aimed to start up the CLOV development by the end of June.
