Installed at a water depth of approximately 1,100m on the Jubilee field, the FPSO is designed to process over 120,000 barrels of oil per day, and inject more than 230,000 barrels of water per day and 160 million standard cubic feet per day of produced gas.
Petrofac Asset Solutions business chief operating officer Nick Shorten said: “I’m delighted that we are continuing to grow our presence in Africa, with valued long-term partner Tullow Oil. We bring our considerable global FPSO experience to Ghana, also putting us in a good position to support other similar facilities in the region.
“Petrofac has been in North Africa for more than two decades and now we are building our presence across the continent, growing local jobs, developing local skills, and collaborating with local partners.”
The contract follows recent orders for Petrofac to decommission seven subsea wells in Mauritania.
