Tullow Ghana resumes Gas Supply to Atuabo Plant after technical hitch


Tullow Ghana, lead operator of the Jubilee Field has resumed gas exports to the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant following the successful resolution of a technical issue on the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah (KNK).

In a statement issued by the company on Tuesday, it noted that gas exports were temporarily suspended over the weekend after the offshore premier production platform experienced a gas system trip, and a technical team has been working to identify the root cause of the situation.

However, Tullow says corrective measures have since been implemented, enabling the safe and efficient resumption of operations.

As of Monday, 12 May, we resumed exporting approximately 100 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of gas to the Atuabo gas processing plant, which will contribute to supporting Ghana’s domestic energy needs,” the statement said.

The resumption of gas supply is expected to enhance power generation and reduce pressure on other sources of energy for the country.

Tullow Ghana plays a key role in the country’s upstream oil and gas sector, with the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah serving as a central production hub in the Jubilee oil field.

The FPSO Kwame Nkrumah is a floating production, storage and offloading vessel operating in the Jubilee oil fields offshore Ghana.

Named after Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah, it has been a vital part of the country’s oil production infrastructure since its inception in 2010.

The FPSO Kwame Nkrumah has the capacity to produce 120,000 barrels of oil per day, and produces 160 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.

The company reiterated its commitment to maintaining safe and reliable operations that contribute to Ghana’s energy security.

Earlier this year, Tullow Ghana and its partners announced a 16-day maintenance shutdown of the Jubilee Oil Field to enhance production efficiency, upgrade key operations, and minimize operational risks in the offshore field.

To lessen the impact of the shutdown on Ghana’s energy supply, Tullow Ghana reached an agreement with the government to temporarily source gas from the TEN fields during the maintenance period.
