Somewhere to discuss and post articles related to Ghana exploration, operations and the Jubilee project
There are numerous development options here for TLW
(i) wait for Jubilee to come off plateau a bit and do a longer distance subsea tie-back to exisitng FPSO. 17-18 API oil is in the heavy oil catagory so will not be cheap to do this and will take too long to wait for suitable window
(ii) as reserves are edging towards 100 MMbbl then they are in FPSO territory ([particularly if crude is heavy and they dont want to tie back to Jubilee) and can consider a standalone subsea/FPSO development. Can also import some of Jubilee's associated gas for power/gas lift/gas injection/flowline heating ...etc.
TLW can also consider for (i) mixing the crudes together to boost ODUM revenues.
JPGH - optimistic for a quicker development here
