LONDON, April 8 (UPI) -- Africa-focused Tullow Oil said it had mechanical issues at a production facility tied to the giant Jubilee oil field offshore Ghana that could curb output.

The company said part of the so-called Kwame Nkrumah floating production storage and offloading facility positioned off the Ghanaian coast was damaged and no longer functioning as designed. Oil and natural production can still continue, but Tullow said it would have to revise its operational procedures.
