Tullow Oil starts JSE production offshore Ghana

Tullow Oil PLC has started production from the Jubilee South East (JSE) project, offshore Ghana in the Gulf of Guinea’s Tano basin.

The first JSE production well has been brought onstream and a further two producers and one water injector are expected onstream this year to help sustain gross Jubilee production over 100,000 bo/d. Tullow and its partners plan to maintain this increased level of production at Jubilee over the next few years through an ongoing infill drilling program. The partnership has identified multiple future drilling locations and is focused on high-grading these opportunities to further extend the Jubilee resource base’s plateau.

Tullow and partners have invested about $1 billion over the last 3 years on JSE to drill wells and install the infrastructure needed to bring previously undeveloped reserves to production.

The Jubilee Cretaceous turbidite reservoir straddles Deepwater Tano and West Cape Three Points licenses. Net production from Jubilee field in 2022 was 31,900 bo/d.

Tullow is operator of JSE (38.98%) with partners Kosmos Energy (38.61%), Ghana National Petroleum Corp. (19.69%), and Petro SA (2.72%).
