The Jubilee field’s FPSO saw a potential problem discovered following a recent inspection of its turret area by SOFEC, the original turret manufacturer. According to releases from both Tullow Oil, operator of the Jubilee field, and Kosmos Energy, one of the JV partners on the field, there will be a change in operating procedures on the FPSO due to the issue.
The inspection by SOFEC of the turret area saw a potential issue identified with the turret bearing and as a precautionary measure, additional operating procedures to monitor the turret bearing and reduce the degree of rotation of the vessel are being put in place.
SOFEC will now undertake further offshore examinations and Tullow will work with SOFEC to determine what further measures will be required. Oil production and gas export is continuing as normal.
