He stated that the offshore crew on board the vessel christened Sea Eagle, reported the water inflow into the hull of the facility on July 24.

ā€The water inflow did not affect the section of the FPSO where any crude is stored.

ā€An emergency response team has been successfully activated to respond to the incident and to contain the water inflow,ā€ he said.

Adande said that the FPSO could store up to 1.4 million barrels of processed crude, and had a production capacity of 170,000 barrels per day. (NAN)
