MODEC GHANA
FPSO MV21 Kwame Nkrumah, Offshore Ghana
The FPSO Kwame Nkrumah MV21 is situated in approximately 1,100 metres water depth on the Jubilee Field, which is one of the largest oil fields discovered offshore West Africa in the past 10 years. It is operated by MODEC on behalf of Tullow Oil.
The FPSO is capable of processing more than 120,000 barrels of oil per day, and injecting more than 230,000 barrels of water per day and 160 MMscfd of produced gas. The FPSO is designed to remain on the field for up to 20 years.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
ICE were asked to undertake a survey of the FPSO’s outdated galley and mess room areas and to provide a modern, practical design proposal. The galley was dated and in a deteriorating condition. Catering staff reported problems with poor flooring drainage. In the mess room, poor layout lead to congestion problems around the existing self-service food areas, as well as a drab and dated environment.
