US firm to run subsea services at Jubilee oilfields

FMC Technologies, a US-based global provider of technology solutions for the energy industry, says it will soon start providing subsea services at Ghana’s Jubilee oilfields.

The New York-listed company announced March 20, 2013 that it has signed a five-year agreement with Tullow Ghana to provide subsea services for its developments in the Jubilee field.

Under the terms of the agreement, FMC Technologies in a statement said it will support Tullow Ghana’s “completions and production operations” for the Jubilee field from its Subsea Service Base in Takoradi, Ghana.

It further stated that it will provide offshore and onshore technical services, including maintenance, refurbishment, and inspection on FMC Technologies supplied equipment and tooling.

“This agreement will provide life-of-field support for this important development,” said Tore Halvorsen, FMC Technologies’ Senior Vice President, Subsea Technologies.
