Oil from the proposed Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme wells will be processed and stored in a new Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel that is being built in Singapore.

Mr Gayheart Mensah, Communication Director of the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme Wells Development project, dubbed: “The TEN Project" made this known at a public hearing for the project for Western Regional House of Chiefs at Sekondi.

The project is to be undertaken by Tullow Ghana Limited and its partners include Kosmos Energy, LLC, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Ghana National Petroleum Company and Sabre Oil and Gas.

Mr Mensah said the FPSO, a customised ship, would arrive in the country by the end of 2015 and would start operations by the first quarter of 2016.

He said the FPSO would be moored in a central location and connected by a number of flowlines to the subsea wells and tankers would offload the oil from FPSO.

Mr Mensah said gas from the TEN field would be connected through a pipeline to the Jubilee Field gas pipeline currently under construction and transport onshore in support of the country's energy requirements.

An address read on behalf Mr Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, Minister of Energy and Petroleum said lessons learnt from the Jubilee Field project would impact on the TEN project and the Sankofa Gye Nyame project in order to ensure that the people are not disadvantaged.
