Tullow gas exports from Jubilee field halted by glitch
LONDON -- Tullow Oil announced Monday that gas export from Jubilee field to the Ghana Gas plant at Atuabo has been suspended since July 3, due to technical issues with gas compression systems on the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah, and is expected to resume by mid-August.

Oil production is currently constrained to approximately 65,000 bpd and is under constant review, but there is no effect on the field’s reservoir or resources, Tullow said in a statement.
Tullow has mobilized a team of experts to rectify the fault within the gas compression system and estimates that it will take approximately a further three weeks to reinstate gas export and full oil production.
