US’ FMC Technologies wins $340m subsea contract for TEN project in Ghana
US-based FMC Technologies announced October 15, 2013 that it has been awarded a $340 million contract to supply what it calls subsea systems for Ghana’s Tweneboa-Enyenra-Ntomme (TEN) oil project.
The company said it received an order from Tullow Ghana, operator at TEN, to supply the subsea systems for the development of the project.
“FMC Technologies’ scope of supply includes subsea trees, manifolds, tooling, associated subsea control systems and systems integration,” the Houston-based company said in a statement.
Listed on the New York Stock Exchange, FMC Technologies, a global provider of technology solutions for the energy industry, has been operating in Ghana since 2008.
It recently completed the assembly and testing of the first Ghanaian-built subsea trees at its support base in Takoradi.
