Schematic Module

This module is an interactive 3D of all the sites and how they connect with each other. It utilizes an intelligent content-sensitive display where it presents the necessary information you have to see based on the camera’s proximity to the site. Users can explore the interconnections between sites in a 3D environment, with the system intuitively displaying essential details as you zoom in or focus on specific areas.

  • 1A. Jubilee Field and FPSO Kwame Nkrumah (KNK)

The Jubilee Field serves as the primary gas source for the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant.

  • 1B. TEN Field and FPSO John Evans Atta Mills

The TEN Field functions as the secondary gas source for the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant.

Special Note: On specific occasions, gas from the Jubilee and TEN Fields is commingled. This occurs when the Gas Processing Plant’s (GPP)‘s heat medium system malfunctions, as the drier gas from the TEN Field can compensate for operational constraints.

  • 2. Sankofa Field

The Sankofa Gas Project encompasses the development of the Sankofa and Gye Nyame gas fields located 60km offshore of Western Ghana in water depths ranging from 520m to 1,014m in the Tano Basin.

  • 4. Main Gas Pipeline

The gas export manifold connects to the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant through the main gas pipeline, ensuring the steady transport of commingled or independent gas streams to the plant for processing.
