Additional facilities include a water injection module of up to 55,000 bpd and gas injection facilities of up to 150 Mmscf/d. A total number of 18 subsea wells will be connected to the FPSO meanwhile a 63-km pipeline to shore will provide domestic gas supply to Ghana’s thermal power plants for more than 15 years, a significant contribution for the country’s energy needs and economic development.
