Jurong Shipyard, a subsidiary of Sembcorp Marine, has been contracted by MODEC Offshore Production Systems (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. to complete the repair and life extension and conversion of a very large crude carrier into an FPSO vessel as part of the TEN Development Project, a press release said. This is the 22nd FPSO unit conversion project that Jurong Shipyard is working on with MODEC.

When completed in fourth-quarter 2015, the TEN Development FPSO vessel will have a capacity of production and treatment of 80 Mbbl/d of crude oil, 65 Mbbl/d of produced water and 5.1 MMcm/d (180 MMcf/d) of gas with an onboard storage capacity of 1.7 MMbbl.

The TEN Development FPSO unit will be operated by MODEC on behalf of their client Tullow Ghana Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Tullow Oil Plc. The FPSO vessel will host multiple subsea tiebacks from three reservoirs—Tweneboa, Enyenra, Ntomme—in the deepwater Tano Block off the coast of Ghana.
