Technip awarded Ghana deepwater contracts

Technip has been awarded by Tullow Ghana Limited two contracts for the TEN Project, located offshore Ghana, at a water depth of up to 2000 m. The two contracts have a combined value of approximately US$ 1.23 billion.

The work undertaken by Technip will include the:

• Engineering, fabrication and installation of nine flexible risers, three flexible flowlines and 12 flexible spools, totalling 48 km;
• Engineering, fabrication and installation of 33 km of water injection and gas injection rigid flowlines;
• Installation of approximately 63 km of static and dynamic umbilicals;
• Engineering, pre-fabrication, final assemble and installation of 10 well rigid jumpers and delivery of a further six prefabricated rigid jumpers.

The offshore installation is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2016. The TEN Field is located in the Deepwater Tano Contract Area, 60 km off the coast of Ghana and approximately 30 km west of the Tullow-operated Jubilee Field.

Technip Chief Operating Officer Subsea, Frédéric Delormel, commented: “While the oil and gas market is rapidly growing in Ghana, we are proud to continue to contribute to the development of this country. Today, this new award demonstrates our ability to mobilise worldwide resources to bring strong know-how and technological innovation meeting the challenges of projects in ultra-deepwater”.

Jean-Marc Aubry, Senior Vice President of Technip’s Region A, added: “We have been operating in Ghana for over four years, when we were awarded the Jubilee project, the first deep water field ever developed in this country. These new awards correspond to a significant milestone for our presence in Ghana”.
