The partnership enhances digitalisation to optimise performance and reduce the environmental footprint of its fleet supporting oil and gas operations in West Africa.

Marseille and London, [28th of February] – Tullow plc, a leading independent energy company with operations in West Africa, has partnered Opsealog, a provider of data integration and analysis services to digitalise its marine operations in Ghana.

Under the agreement, Opsealog’s e-reporting system, Streamlog, along with its data integration and performance platform, Marinsights, has been deployed on four Tullow Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) and Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels, operating in offshore oil production sites in Ghana. This enhanced digitalisation process will ensure accurate vessel tracking, provide critical insights to optimise fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

The partnership will also transform vessel reporting, streamline data collection for weekly, monthly, and yearly reports, while supporting forecasting and cost tracking. This ensures data accuracy and eliminates duplicated input, saving crews significant time. It will also help Tullow monitor various aspects of vessel activity, from fuel and freshwater levels to crew certificates.

Tullow Head of Logistics, Samuel Kwesi Dickson said: “This partnership with Opsealog marks an important step in the digitalisation of our marine operations, equipping our teams with granular, data-driven insights to improve the performance of our fleet and reduce our environmental footprint. This ability to leverage data to benchmark, report and boost our efficiency is essential to our strategic vision of building a better future through responsible oil and gas development in Africa.”

Briac Lemée, Business Development Manager at Opsealog, said: “This project is a great example of how data and fuel efficiency expertise can work together towards sustainability objectives. It empowers Tullow Oil Ghana’s onshore teams with the right data to deliver high-value analysis and inform strategic decision-making to improve the utilisation of their assets. We are proud to be part of this initiative, which optimises several operational aspects, from fuel efficiency to crew management.”
