Oil and gas company Kosmos Energy said the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Project FPSO has been brought back to the dock from the COSCO shipyard in China, following the recent incident in which the vessel drifted due to the impact of Typhoon Muifa.
The floating production, storage and offloading vessel ("FPSO") for the GTA development in Mauritania/Senegal is under construction at the COSCO yard.
During the September 15 typhoon, the FPSO's mooring lines were compromised, causing the vessel to drift approximately 200 meters from the dock.
"Kosmos has been informed by BP, the operator of the GTA project, that the FPSO has been brought back to shore from the COSCO shipyard in China," Kosmos Energy said.
"Inspections conducted to date have not identified any significant damage. The forward plan is to complete all inspections and incorporate the results into the remaining scope of work prior to departure. Kosmos will provide a further update on the project alongside its third quarter results in early November," Kosmos Energy said.
