Two JSE production wells are onstream, lifting production from the entire Jubilee Field above 100,000 bbl/d. One further producer well and one water injector will also come online later this year, helping to sustain production above the 100,000-bb/d mark.
Tullow and its co-venturers will seek to maintain that higher output over the next few years via infill drilling, with multiple future drilling locations identified.
Capex for JSE has totaled about $1 billion covering drilling of the new wells and installing infrastructure to bring previously undeveloped reserves into production.
