The project had obtained initial approval in May 2022. The works attained an important milestone with the installation of two new Ballymore modules- the vapor recovery unit and utility electrical building on the Blind Faith facility. Chevron took more than a year of planning to complete the safe and seamless execution of the installation process.

According to Moreno, the project has been an exercise in discipline. The installations required significant engineering as well as high levels of collaboration with contractors, operations, fabricators, support vessels and the entire Ballymore team, she added.
