LUANDA, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Chevron Corp (CVX.N), Angola's biggest oil producer, will boost production in 2009 and 2010 with the start of operations in the Tombua-Landana oil field in Cabinda's offshore Block 14, a spokesman said on Wednesday.

Chevron currently produces around 520,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd), or about one fourth of the southwestern African nation's total oil production.

"The Tombua-Landana oil field will begin operating in September 2009. Oil production from that field should reach a peak of 100,000 bpd in 2010," the spokesman said. (Reporting by Henrique Almeida)
