Gas export from the Jubilee Field offshore Cape Three Points to the Ghana Gas Plant at Atuabo has been suspended for three weeks.
The suspension was due to technical issues with the gas compression systems on the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah and is expected to resume by mid-August.
Tullow Oil Plc, in a statement said, “Gas export from the Jubilee Field to the Ghana Gas plant at Atuabo has been suspended since 3 July 2015.”
According to the company, oil production is currently constrained to approximately 65,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd).
It, however, said there was no effect on the field’s reservoir or resources.
“Tullow has mobilised a team of experts to rectify the fault within the gas compression system and estimates that it will take approximately a further three weeks to reinstate gas export and full oil production,” the company said.
Tullow said it will review its 2015 production forecast for Jubilee and provide an update on progress at its half yearly results on 29th July 2015.
Tullow Ghana Ltd expressed regrets for the disruption caused by the suspension of gas export and assured the Ghanaian public that it was working hard to rectify the problem on the FPSO safely and speedily.
