This FPSO is the largest of its type in the world and will be moored and ready for hook-up in the first quarter of 2008.
It has a processing capacity of 250,000 barrels of oil per day and a storage capacity of 2.1 million barrels of oil. We have already drilled 11 producers and seven injectors. We have two rigs working on the completions of these wells. We are on-track for first oil by the third quarter of 2008. We expect to be at full capacity within one year of start up. As a reminder, Chevron has a 68% interest in this project.
