The FPSO will host several subsea tiebacks from three reservoirs in the Deep Water Tano block off the coast of Ghana, West Africa.

The TEN development project includes the collective development of three hydrocarbon accumulations, Tweneboa, Enyenra (formerly Owo) and Ntomme.

The fields lie in water depths of 1,000m-2,000m and the development is located 25km away from the Tullow Oil-operated Jubilee field.

A total of 33 wells are planned to be drilled, including 15 oil production, 15 water injection, one gas production and two gas injection wells.

Another 16 wells are expected to be drilled in the future, depending on production levels.

Hydrocarbon fluids from the wells will be collected at a subsea manifold tied back to the FPSO.
