Tullow Ghana and its partners have announced a planned 16-day maintenance shutdown of the Jubilee Oil Field, set to begin on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
The maintenance exercise aims to enhance production efficiency, upgrade key operations, and minimize operational risks in the offshore field.
As part of the scheduled works, critical repairs and upgrades will be carried out on the Kwame Nkrumah FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading) vessel. Key activities will include retooling essential equipment, conducting leak tests, and upgrading facilities to accommodate increased gas export capacity.
The announcement follows Tullow Ghana’s successful completion of a 4D seismic survey on both the Jubilee and TEN fields. This survey is designed to identify future drilling prospects and support long-term resource sustainability.
To mitigate the impact of the shutdown on Ghana’s energy supply, Tullow Ghana has reached an agreement with the government to temporarily source gas from the TEN fields during the maintenance period. This arrangement is expected to ensure a stable supply of gas to power producers and industrial users.
Additionally, the shutdown is part of broader efforts to extend the operational life of the FPSO and serves as a precursor to a mini-drilling campaign scheduled for May 2025.
