Operated by Star Deep Water, an affiliate of Chevron, the Agbami field has been developed with subsea wells, connected to a floating production storage and offloading vessel (FPSO), with production commencing on 29 July 2008.

The field is located in licences OML 127 and OML 128, 110km off the Nigerian coast.

Agbami was discovered in late 1998, and was the second major deepwater oil field discovered off the Niger Delta, the first being the Bonga Field, discovered by Shell.
