Tullow reports first oil from Ghana’s TEN development
LONDON -- Tullow Oil has announced first oil from the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) fields offshore Ghana, to the FPSO Prof. John Evans Atta Mills.
The TEN start-up process is now well advanced and Tullow expects oil production to ramp-up gradually towards the FPSO's capacity of 80,000 bopd through the remainder of 2016. Tullow estimates that TEN average annualized production in 2016 will be approximately 23,000 bopd.
Tullow is the operator of the TEN fields and holds a 47.175% stake. Tullow’s joint venture partners are Anadarko Petroleum (17%), Kosmos Energy (17%), Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (15%) and PetroSA (3.875%).
“I am delighted that the TEN fields have reached first oil. This is an important moment for Tullow as production begins from our second operated development in Ghana,” Aidan Heavey, CEO of Tullow Oil, said.
