BP Plc said it will shut its Greater Plutonio oil field in Angola in April to install new water injection equipment to maintain the extraction rate.
The field was pumping at about 95,000 barrels a day a last week, said Robert Wine, a London-based spokesman at BP. Greater Plutonio has pumped an average of about 180,000 barrels a day since its start in October 2007, lower than the expected plateau of 200,000 barrels a day, he said.
