Greater PAJ first steel cut

An important milestone for the Greater PAJ Project.  

The first steel cutting ceremony for the Greater PAJ FPSO topside process modules was held at Haiyang CIMC Raffles’ Haiyang yard in China, officially marking the start of the topside construction phase of this strategic project for Angola’s offshore energy sector. 

The ceremony brought together Azule Energy and CIMC Raffles representatives, to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in the delivery of a world-class floating production facility. This milestone, achieved one month after Greater PAJ Project Project’s Final Investment Decision (FID), reflects the commitment that Azule Energy, its partners and CIMC Raffles share in delivering the Project on schedule to the nation of Angola. Greater PAJ FPSO Project stands as a remarkable example of international collaboration, engineering excellence and a shared commitment to safety, quality and execution. 

As construction progresses, the Greater PAJ FPSO will play an important role in supporting the development of Angola’s deepwater resources and creating long-term value for the country and its energy industry.
