From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dalia oil field is an deep water oil field off the coast of Cabinda, Angola. It is in Block 17. The field is nearly 135 kilometers off the coast, with sea depths varying between 200 and 1500 meters. It has 71 wells, 37 of which go towards production. Dalia oil field was discovered in September 1997. It was put into production in December 2006.

[edit] Future
Dalia is projected to contain about 1 billion barrels of crude oil (Angola has a projected 13 million barrels of recoverable petroleum)[2]. The opening coincided with Angola's entry into the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Dalia is projected to produce at its peak about 240,000 barrels of oil daily[3].
