In support of Ghana s offshore LNG development, MDL announced the completion of flexible installation at the Tema port. MDL Third-generation Reel Drive System, operated by the company’s expert offshore personnel, was used to deploy a 13” gas lift riser from an 11.4m reel which was mobilised on the back of an Anchor Handler Vessel.
The tie-in connected the beach with a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility, located 12km off the coast of Tema, in the Greater Accra Region in the Eastern part of Ghana. The terminal, first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, is expected to help Ghana meet its growing domestic energy demand and reduce the country’s dependency on foreign imports.
