Equatorial Guinea Operations and Licences
Operations
Tullow holds interests in two production licences offshore Equatorial Guinea, covering the Ceiba field and the Okume Complex.
Production from the Hess operated Okume Complex development commenced, ahead of schedule, in December 2006 and reached plateau levels of approximately 70,000 bopd (gross) in March 2008. The project involves the integrated development of the Okume, Oveng, Ebano and Elon oil fields, collectively known as the Okume Complex and includes two tension leg platforms (TLP’s), four fixed platforms, and the drilling of over 40 wells. Production performance, particularly from the Elon field, has exceeded expectations.
Production levels from the Ceiba field have also exceeded expectations with average gross production of approximately 40,000 bopd during 2008. An infill drilling campaign was completed in May 2008 and flowline gas lift is being installed to assure production levels going forward.
Oil from the Okume Complex is blended with Ceiba Field production and exported via the Sendje Ceiba FPSO. Combined gross flow rates currently exceed 95,000 bopd (gross).
