The company also sought to assure investors that, recent challenges with the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah’s Turret Bearing notwithstanding, daily oil production be maintained at 90,000 barrels a day for the rest of 2016. It also assured investors that it has procured a comprehensive insurance policy to cover future challenges with production.

This means the TEN Project is on schedule as proposed. However, earlier production estimation was supposed to be 80,000 barrels a day in the first production year of 2016.

The Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) project showcase is a joint-venture partnership between Tullow, Kosmos Energy, Anadarko Petroleum, Petro SA and the  GNPC.
