Partners on Ghana’s newest development to come onstream, the TEN development, expect to see their first crude lifting in Q4. The TEN came onstream in mid-August with an initial 11 development wells completed as of early October.
The field produced an average of 24,000 bpd gross when on line during Q3 and is currently producing approximately 50,000 bpd gross. During startup, ramp-up of field production has been managed along with water injection to ensure proper management of the reservoir, according to Kosmos Energy. Water injection has now increased to approximately 100,000 bpd of water, which is expected to allow a gradual ramp-up in oil production to test the TEN FPSO capacity around the end of the year.
Gas commissioning is ongoing with the objective to begin gas injection into the Ntomme reservoir by year-end, Kosmos said in its Q3 report.
