The FPSO for the latest Tullow-led development offshore Ghana, the Tweneboa-Enyenra-Ntomme (TEN) oil field, is on its way to Ghana. The FPSO is traveling from Singapore where it was constructed to the Deepwater Tano License.
The departure of the vessel on schedule is an important milestone for the TEN Project which is now over 80% complete and remains on track to start producing oil in July or August 2016. The vessel departed the Tuas shipyard in Singapore on January 23. The FPSO should be in Ghanaian waters in early-March.
Upon her arrival, the FPSO will be attached to nine anchor piles which will maintain her position above the oil fields. These 21-meter high steel cylinders were built in Ghana by Group Five Construction Ghana Ltd. They were completed on time and are already installed in the seabed, awaiting the arrival of the FPSO.
The FPSO has a nominal production capacity of 80,000 bpd of oil and a storage capacity of 1.7 million barrels.
