We are excited to announce that our newest asset, FPSO John Agyekum Kufuor (JAK), has achieved first oil. The First Oil ceremony was graced by Ghana’s President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, together with former President John Agyekum Kufuor himself, after whom the vessel is named.
FPSO JAK was completed within budget and three months ahead of schedule with zero Loss Time Injury (LTI), serving as a testimony to our ability to perform as a world-class FPSO service provider with the capability of delivering large scale FPSO projects.
Since crude oil was first discovered in Ghana’s Jubilee Oilfield, Ghana has become a growing producer of the world’s oil and gas. Thousands of new jobs and economic opportunities have been created for Ghanaians. We are proud to play a role in Ghana’s journey through operating the FPSO JAK.
FPSO JAK is chartered by ENI Ghana Exploration & Production Ltd. and customized and delivered by Keppel Offshore and Marine Ltd. The vessel will process oil and gas from the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) block located offshore Ghana, and is expected to supply power to Ghana for a minimum of the next 15 years, contributing significantly to meeting the country’s energy needs and galvanising economic growth.
“We are confident that FPSO John Agyekum Kufuor will be a valuable addition to ENI Ghana’s exploration and production activities, strengthening their presence in Africa.” said Mr. Lim Chern Yuan, Group Chief Executive Officer of Yinson.
