sources
said
Tullow
has
now
opted
for
an
external
turret
mooring
system
instead
of
the
spread-moored
system
originally
being
considered.
One
market
source
said
the
late
change
is
unlikely
to
delay
the
FPSO
contract
award
beyond
the
current
expected
target
date
of
the
end
of
this
year.
However,
another
source
said
the
late
change
could
possibly
require
new
bids
to
be
submitted
at
the
end
of
the
year
by
Modec
and
SBM
Offshore,
the
two
contractors
battling
to
supply
the
FPSO.
A
large
external
turret
was
also
chosen
for
Tullow’s
nearby
Jubilee
FPSO…
