DeepOcean lands Tullow Ghana contract

DeepOcean and Tullow have entered a three-year contract for vessel operations, offshore Ghana.

DeepOcean’s Ghana arm will provide a light construction vessel (LCV) to Tulllow Ghana in the agreement, which comes with options for two further years.

DeepOcean Ghana has mobilized the DP2 ROV/construction vessel Dina Star with two DeepOcean Ghana-owned 220HP constructor ROV systems that commenced offshore activities mid-March 2016. The scope of work includes inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR), surveys and subsea construction on the Tullow Ghana-operated deepwater Jubilee and TEN fields, offshore Ghana.

DeepOcean Ghana, an indigenous Ghanaian company in which Deep Ocean BV holds a 49% shareholding, commenced its working relationship with Tullow Ghana in February 2015 when it mobilized the Rem Forza to undertake multipurpose construction activities on Jubilee. The Rem Forza has now been replaced by the Dina Star, allowing the Rem Forza to continue working with Tullow Ghana to provide accommodation and construction support on the TEN project from March 2016.

“We are very pleased that with this new contract we have the opportunity to increase the scope of work we are undertaking offshore Ghana for Tullow,” DeepOcean said. 

Last week, Tullow Oil is pushing back the start up of production at its Jubilee field offshore Ghana by an additional two weeks, after finding more damage to the Kwame Nkrumah floating production and storage offloading (FPSO) unit.

At the company's TEN project, the Prof. John Atta Mills FPSO arrived in early March. First oil from the development is on track for July/August.
