Tullow Ghana and partners have announced a scheduled maintenance shutdown at its Jubilee field later this month.

The maintenance activity, set to begin Tuesday, March 25, for 16 days, will upgrade operations, boost production capacity, and reduce risks in the field.

During this period, Tullow Ghana will focus on essential repairs and improvements to the Kwame Nkrumah FPSO vessel, including retooling of key equipment, conducting leak tests and expanding works on the facility to accommodate increased gas export.

The announcement follows the company’s recent completion of a 4D seismic survey of the Jubilee and TEN fields, to map out future drilling opportunities and secure sustainable resource development.

The measures are also designed to extend the operational life of the FPSO and position it for an upcoming mini-drilling campaign scheduled for May 2025.

To ensure uninterrupted gas supply to the country, the partners have also agreed with government that gas normally exported from the Jubilee field will temporarily be sourced from the TEN fields during the shutdown period.

Jean-Medard Madama, Managing Director of Tullow Ghana said, “This maintenance shutdown is a very important step to protect and maintain our field assets and enhance production efficiency at the Jubilee field.

"It also reflects our role as lead operator of Ghana's main oil fields and our commitment to developing Ghana’s resources in a responsible manner that creates value for all stakeholders.”
