A joint project by a subsidiary of Gulf Oil Corp. and Angola's national oil company has earmarked $1.2 billion to more than double oil production off Cabinda. The venture by Cabinda Gulf Oil Co. (CABGOC) and Sonangol plans to increase production from its offshore Cabinda fields to 200,000 bpd by year end 1985 from the current 93,000 bpd. Cabinda is an enclave of Angola surrounded by Zaire and Congo. The project will increase production from 7 of Cabinda's main fields - North Malongo, South Malongo, West Malongo, Kungulo, Limba, Kali, and Kambala. Addition of another offshore field, Takula, is included in the expansion project. It is scheduled to come on stream during the second-half of 1982 at a rate of 15,000 bpd, increasing to approximately 70,000 late in 1985. Earlier this year, production from all Cabinda fields was reported at 100,000 to 120,000 bpd.
