The Idan Ofer and John Fredriksen controlled companies expect the gas to start moving by mid 2016, Don Ackah, ceo of Quantum Power Ghana, a subsidiary of Quantum Pacific, told Reuters.
Under the contract, Golar LNG will provide an FSRU for deployment on the project to provide 250m cu ft of LNG per day, amounting to 1.75m tonnes per annum. At the end of the last quarter, Golar LNG had one FSRU under construction without a charter, the 170,000 cu m Golar Tundra, which is due for delivery from Samsung Heavy Industries in November 2015.
According to Ackah the production unit is expected on site by January 2016 with subsea construction complete by December 2015, with talks underway with Technip to carry out the subsea and onshore pipeline work.
Once operational the facility will provide gas directly to the state owned Volta River Authority for power generation.
