Tullow Oil has started oil production from the Tweneboa, Enyenra, Ntomme (TEN) fields, located offshore Ghana. 

The oil will flow to the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel Prof John Evans Atta Mills.

In May 2013, the Government of Ghana approved the plan of development for the offshore field.

Tullow said that the TEN start-up process is well advanced and further expects oil production to increase gradually towards the FPSO capacity of 80,000bpd through the rest of this year.

"This is an important moment for Tullow as production begins from our second operated development in Ghana."

The average annualised production from TEN is expected to be around 23,000bpd gross during this year.

Tullow operates the TEN fields with a 47.175% stake.
