TEN On Track

Thursday, July 30, 2015

Ghana and the partners on the TEN Project should be able to add new production to their flows by this time next year. According to Tullow Oil, TEN Project operator, the project is progressing well and is now approximately 65% complete. The project remains on schedule and on budget for first oil in mid-2016.

In its H1 report Tullow said that the project had achieved a number of important milestones during H1, including running two well completions and the commencement of a third. The project also saw the installation of four subsea Christmas Trees. Other milestones were the completion of a significant amount of in-country fabrication, including anchor piles for the FPSO, ready for the start of the offshore installation campaign which commenced in July; and the transportation of specialist subsea manifolds and umbilicals which are now in transit from the US to Ghana.

The conversion work on the TEN FPSO continues at the Jurong Shipyard in Singapore with all major modules now installed and integration works under way. A naming ceremony will take place in September and the FPSO should set sail to Ghana around the end of the year.

Tullow also commented on the ongoing maritime border dispute between Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire registered with the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) in Hamburg in late-2014. The case is ongoing with a final ruling expected during 2017, however according to Tullow this will not impact the first oil schedule.
