  • SOURCE: | qwesa2big
  • 2 FPSOTullow Oil plc, one of the partners operating in the TEN Fields in Ghana’s Western Region, has said it is pleased to announce that first oil has flowed from the Tweneboa, Enyenra, Ntomme (TEN) fields offshore Ghana, to the FPSO Prof John Evans Atta Mills, on time and on budget.


    In a statement, Tullow said first oil had been reached on time and on budget three years after the Plan of Development was approved by the Government of Ghana in May 2013.

    Tullow said the TEN start-up process is now well-advanced and it expects oil production to ramp-up gradually towards the FPSO capacity of 80,000 bopd through the remainder of 2016.

    Tullow estimates that TEN’s average annualised production in 2016 will be approximately 23,000 bopd gross (net: 11,000 bopd).

    Tullow is the operator of the TEN fields and holds a 47.175 per cent stake. Tullow’s joint venture partners are Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (17%), Kosmos Energy (17%), Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (15%) and PetroSA (3.875%).

    Aidan Heavey, CEO Tullow Oil plc, commented on Thursday, 18, August that: “I am delighted that the TEN fields have reached first oil. This is an important moment for Tullow as production begins from our second operated development in Ghana. I thank the Government of Ghana, the Petroleum Commission and our partners – GNPC, Anadarko, Kosmos and PetroSA – for their support and co-operation since we made the first discovery in 2009. I also congratulate the project team, our contractors and sub-contractors, for delivering this project on time and on budget and with great skill and professionalism and commend them for their commitment to the participation of Ghanaian staff and companies in the project.”
