FAR Limited (ASX: FAR) as part of the Rufisque Offshore, Sangomar Offshore and Sangomar Deep Offshore (RSSD) joint venture has awarded MODEC International Inc the front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the SNE Field Development floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility.

First oil is targeted in 2022.

FAR’s Managing Director Cath Norman said, ‘This is another milestone reached for the SNE development and for the RSSD joint venture towards reaching a Final Investment Decision (FID) targeted for 2019.’
