ExxonMobil yesterday said that the reassembly of the Liza Destiny oil platform’s flash gas compressor has been completed and is now being prepared for testing at the MAN Energy Solutions workshop in Germany.

It also says that it is continuing to manage production and flare levels on the platform.

Almost a month ago, Exxon revealed that the flash gas compressor on the Liza Destiny floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) platform had malfunctioned resulting in it having to temporarily increase flaring above pilot levels in order to maintain safe operations.
