The two vessels are to be used on the Jubilee and Ten fields offshore Ghana.Arnlea however, did not disclose the value of the contract, but said it won over £500,000 worth of new business with three major FPSO companies, including Modec, during H2 of 2016, according to Energy Voice.

Intrinsix Ex will allow Tullow to remain compliant, increase operational efficiency and achieve a return on investment well within the first year,” Allan Merritt, Arnlea managing director, said.
