"Viking plans to use cost-effective offshore production and storage facilities comprising a mobile offshore production unit ("MOPU") and a FSO/Storage Tanker moored to a CALM Buoy to commercialise the three oil fields. The Participants and Viking will work in collaboration with Offshore Production Solutions (OPS) and Thome Oil & Gas (TOG) on the project, whereby OPS will provide offshore production facilities under bareboat charter arrangements on competitive market terms to be agreed; and TOG will provide operation and maintenance services for the offshore production facilities under an operation and maintenance agreement on competitive market terms to be agreed".
