The industry-proven FPSO Tamara Tokoni is available for redeployment offshore West Africa, offering operators a solution to shorten development timelines for new or ongoing field projects.
The vessel is configured to process 40,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), handle 66 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d) of gas, and inject 15,000 barrels of water per day (bwpd). It also provides 1.1 million barrels of crude storage capacity. The FPSO is equipped with a 12-point spread mooring system designed for harsh environments and supports tandem or shuttle tanker offloading, making it suitable for a variety of field layouts.
Currently moored offshore West Africa, the FPSO has a track record of operating in challenging offshore conditions while maintaining stable uptime and safety performance. Engineering documentation and class certification records are available, and the vessel can be reconfigured to meet project-specific topsides changes and mooring requirements.
A key advantage of redeploying this FPSO is the significant schedule reduction compared to newbuild units, which can require 30–36 months for delivery. The Tamara Tokoni can be readied for deployment in an estimated four to six months, depending on the necessary modifications. Redeployment also typically presents lower capital costs, with commercial arrangements such as lease or lease-to-own models available and varying by project.
The vessel is positioned as an option for fast-track developments, early production systems, or brownfield expansions where minimizing downtime and accelerating first oil are critical priorities. Engineering teams are available to conduct integration studies for operators evaluating the unit for near-term field work.
