The TGL leadership team during the tour
Members of the Tullow Ghana (TGL) leadership team, led by Managing Director, Wissam Al-Monthiry, have taken a day’s working visit to the Orsam Fabrication Yard and subsea installation vessel, Skandi Africa, in Takoradi.
The visit provided an opportunity for TGL leaders to inspect complex subsea infrastructure currently under fabrication, as well as ongoing preparations for installation by Skandi Africa.
These installations form part of execution works for the Jubilee South-East (JSE) field development project, and the visit preceded commencement of installation activities.
In its full year results issued on 8th March 2023, Tullow expressed its confidence to deliver further profitable growth with the execution of the JSE project, which is on track for the second half of 2023.
The expectation is that this added infrastructure will bring undeveloped reserves online and increase the Jubilee fields’ gross production to more than 100,000 barrels of oil per day (100kbopd) before the end of the year.
Mr. Al-Monthiry, said the visit to both sites was not only invigorating, but insightful.
He said, “Seeing first-hand all the work that has gone into the preparations for the JSE expansion project is a reminder of the local capacity that has been developed over the years. The project will increase output in the Jubilee field, providing value not only for Tullow, but for Ghana and all stakeholders.”
The complexity, magnitude and scale of the operations at the Orsam Fabrication Yard in Ghana are testament to Tullow’s commitment to the development of local capacity to manage complex engineering.
