Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

CONTENTS
Ghanaian nationals working at the FMC Plant in Takoradi, Ghana
I would like to congratulate all of the
Tullow team, our Joint Venture
Partners, the Government of Ghana
and its various Agencies who we
work with, for the close collaboration
and commitment that has ensured
the successful delivery and coming
on stream of TEN.
Over the past three years, a
significant amount of work has gone
into ensuring the successful delivery
of the field from project to
production. Different aspects of work
were carried out on four continents in
Asia, Europe, North America and
Africa. The development of the TEN
Project navigated successfully the
worst economic turmoil the oil and
gas industry has experienced in
recent times. Through all the
turbulence, the project remained on
track and on budget. This is a
significant achievement which we are
extremely proud of. Tullow and the
other TEN Partners have remained
committed to the project throughout.
This is a clear indication of the long
term commitment of the TEN
Partners to the growth of the oil and
gas industry in Ghana.
Since 2013, various engineering,
design and construction activities
have culminated in today’s events.
A significant milestone was the
official naming, in Singapore, of the
FPSO for the TEN Fields, Professor
John Evans Atta Mills, by the First
Lady of the Republic of Ghana, Her
Excellency Lordina Mahama in
September 2015.
Our proudest achievement is the level
of Local Content and local
participation in the development. At
Tullow Ghana, in living our vision to
create Shared Prosperity, we have
remained committed to building the
capacity of Ghanaians and Ghanaian
businesses, in order to maximise
local participation in the oil and gas
industry. We have identified and
created opportunities for Ghanaian
professionals to gain experience and
develop skills, as integral members
of TEN project teams. Beyond this, it
was also important to Tullow and
Partners that wherever possible,
work pertaining to the project was
done in Ghana.
Ghanaian companies undertook work
on key components of the
development, some of which are
highlighted in this brochure. Over the
duration of the project, several
Ghanaians from GNPC, the
Petroleum Commission and Tullow
worked on various aspects of the
project in various locations around
the world. This capacity building will
continue into the production phase.
The TEN Partners reiterate their
commitment to Ghana and will
continue to work with all key
stakeholders to maximise the value
of the oil and gas industry for the
mutual benefit and shared prosperity
of Ghana, our shareholders and host
communities.
This is indeed a historic moment for
Ghana.

ENYENRA&
NTOMME
The TEN Fields lie in the Deepwater Tano block, around 60
kilometres offshore Western Ghana. The fields are spread across
an area of more than 500 square kilometres, around 20 kilometres
to the west of the Tullow operated Jubilee Field. The reservoirs lie
in water depths ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 metres.
Following the discovery and appraisal of the fields, the TEN Plan of Development
(PoD) was approved by the Government of Ghana in May 2013. The full field
development will consist of 24 wells in total – a mixture of water injection, gas
injection and production wells which will all be connected to the FPSO through subsea
infrastructure. Ten wells were required for First Oil and have all been drilled.
The project tendered its major contracts shortly after PoD approval and all key awards
were made by September 2013. The conversion of the FPSO began in October 2013,
with the arrival of the Centennial Jewel tanker in Singapore. The installation of the
subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines began in July 2015 and lasted almost exactly
one year.
After nearly 28 million man hours of work the project delivered First Oil on schedule in
August 2016.

I would like to thank everyone who has
contributed to the success of the TEN
Project, including our partners,
contractors and sub-contractors.
I would also like to commend our
contractors for their commitment to
Local Content and note the contribution
of Ghanaian companies to the project.
All of our major contractors over
delivered on their Local Content
commitments and each work package
contains equipment built in Ghana.
It’s very unusual for a project of this size
to be delivered on time and within budget
and we should all be proud to say:
“I was part of the TEN Team”.
Terry Hughes,
TEN Project Director
The TEN Project has been executed by a multinational, multidisciplinary
team. From the outset, the project leadership team promoted a ‘one
team’ culture across partners and contractors alike. This was supported
by quarterly ‘aligned and on track’ sessions, which brought partners and
major contractors together. A collaborative approach enabled the project
to respond effectively to the various challenges that emerged during
execution.
The project has been managed by a Tullow Oil team based largely in London, with satellite
offices in Accra, Singapore, Paris and Houston. The project management team was comprised
of up to 135 people, depending on the phase of the project. They included permanent Tullow
employees, contactors and secondees from the Petroleum Commission of Ghana, GNPC and
other TEN Partners.

6. THE TEN FPSO will receive, process and store
crude oil. The vessel, which was converted from
a tanker into an FPSO in Singapore, will be
permanently moored over the TEN Fields.
In January 2016, following 26 months of fabrication and testing,
FPSO Prof. John Evans Atta Mills left Singapore and set sail for
Ghana, achieving a major milestone for the project.
This was achieved as a result of 17 million man hours at the
Sembcorp Marine shipyard. Key contractor MODEC supervised
the build and will own and operate the FPSO.
In September 2015, the FPSO was officially named by Her
Excellency the First Lady of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Nana
Lordina Mahama, at a ceremony at the shipyard in Singapore.
The vessel arrived at the TEN Fields in March 2016 and was then
moored via the turret to nine anchor piles. The installation,
hook-up and commissioning of the vessel took place from
March to July 2016, culminating in FPSO Mills being declared
‘ready for start up’ in early August 2016. The FPSO conversion
was one of the most successful projects of its type ever
completed. It was finished on time and on budget.

SUBSEA
DELIVERYThe subsea installation campaign began
in July 2015. In total, 35,000 tonnes of
equipment was installed on the seabed
in the TEN Fields. The bulk of the subsea
production equipment was installed by the
TS7 consortium (Technip and Subsea7).
The Seven Borealis and Simar Esperança operated in the
fields in the second half of 2015. Their scope of work
included the installation of three Enyenra manifolds, one
Ntomme manifold and the Enyenra and Ntomme oil
production riser bases. At the same time, several pipe
laying vessels completed the installation of flow lines on
schedule.
The project’s umbilicals, which connect the FPSO to the
subsea equipment and have a total combined length of
over 60 kilometres, arrived in Ghana in November 2015.
The installation of the first 10 was completed by the Viking
Neptun in January 2016 and the remainder were installed
by the Deep Pioneer in April 2016.
The final milestone in the campaign, the installation of all
umbilicals and risers, was completed in July 2016.

8. Supplychainmanagement
inaglobaloperation
TEN is a truly international project, with major
work having been undertaken in Singapore,
Malaysia, Thailand, France, Norway, the USA
and Ghana.
Effective supply chain management played a critical part in
the delivery of the TEN Project. As a global project requiring
contractor services from various parts of the world, supplier
management was a core focus in order for our contractors to
deliver the project in a safe, cost effective and sustainable
manner.
The project was committed to maximising Local Content and
all major contractors were required to submit Local Content
development plans in their tenders. This resulted in
significant work completed in Ghana, including the
construction of the FPSO’s module support stools and
mooring piles, the fabrication of subsea mud mats and the
assembly of subsea christmas trees.
The major contractors on the TEN Project were MODEC, Subsea 7, Technip, FMC Technologies, Aker Solutions and Wood
Group. The TEN Partners would like to thank all the contractors who have helped to deliver the TEN Project on time.

SUPPLIER WORKSHOPS
In collaboration with the Ghana Petroleum Commission, a
series of workshops were run for Ghanaian small and medium
sized enterprises (SMEs) to learn more about accessing TEN
Project contracts. Held at the Enterprise Development Centre
in Takoradi, TEN contractors presented their work package
requirements and tendering processes to the SME
representatives and answered questions from suppliers. The
workshops received positive feedback from the attendees.
RESPONDING
TOLEGISLATION
Ghana’s Local Content and Local Participation law, passed in
2014, requires that Ghanaians are prioritised in terms of
employment and local business opportunities in the petroleum
industry. To achieve this objective, the Local Content legislation
also outlines the support required by international companies to
develop local capability through education, knowledge and skills
transfer.
We began our commitment to the local sourcing of goods,
services and expertise in 2008 when Tullow was designated field
operator. In response to the new legislation, Tullow has focused
on building local capacity so that Ghanaian businesses can bid
successfully for contracts in the oil and gas industry. As a result,
a number of local companies are now part of our supply chain.

in Takoradi by Belmet7, a joint venture
between Belmet Ghana and Subsea7.
The work was carried out at the new
Subsea7 fabrication yard in Takoradi, which
was established to undertake work for the
TEN Project, enabling higher specification
fabrication work to be produced in Ghana.
This highly technical piece of subsea
equipment, comprising of a series of valves,
pipes and connectors, is the first of its type
to be built in Ghana, marking a step-up in
the complexity of oil and gas work
undertaken in country. The scope of work
included the fabrication of the manifold
itself, approximately 14 x 9 x 4 metres, and
its anchor pile, a 16 metre high cylinder with
a diameter of 6 metres which keeps the
manifold anchored to the seabed.
At the peak of activity, 90 workers were
employed on the manifold fabrication, 90%
of whom were Ghanaian. The manifold was
completed ahead of schedule in June 2016.
The manifold is a critical piece of equipment
for the export of gas to the main land. It will
be installed on the seabed in order to
connect the TEN and Jubilee gas export
pipelines to the Ghana National Gas
Corporation’s pipeline. This will send the
gas to the Atuabo gas processing plant in
Ghana’s Western Region.

The offshore oil business is relatively new to Ghana so the TEN Plan
of Development included commitments to create opportunities for
Ghanaians to gain experience as integral members of the project team.
Since 2013, 55 Ghanaians from GNPC, Ghana’s Petroleum Commission and Tullow Ghana
Ltd have spent time on secondment with the TEN Project team in London, Singapore,
Houston and Ghana.
GNPC employee Nii K. Amasa, spent 18 months on secondment in Singapore with Tullow as
a Construction Safety Advisor on the FPSO conversion. Now back in Ghana, Nii explained:
“During my time in Singapore, I learnt so much about an aspect of safety management that
was totally new to me - Construction Site Safety.
“Every day we had hundreds of people working on the vessel at the dockyard, so the potential
for injury was great. My role was to assist in the day to day safety management on the FPSO
and I learnt the importance of developing a good safety culture.
“As more fabrication work is undertaken in Ghana, I’m looking forward to putting my
experience from Singapore to good use, to ensure that Ghanaian oil workers operate in a
safe environment.”
In addition, 30 Ghanaian nationals worked on the FPSO conversion with MODEC in Singapore.
Fifteen of these trainees completed the Level 3 General Vocational Qualification – Diploma in
Process Operations. Ten of these Ghanaian engineers were members of the crew for the
vessel’s voyage to Ghana and many more will be part of the team that operates the FPSO.

Training and Skills / Knowledge Transfer
In 2015, Hydra seconded its Ghanaian engineers to Wood Group Kenny (WGK) which was awarded an engineering services contract
by Tullow Ghana Limited to support Tullow and its Project Partners through the execution phase of the TEN Project.
The engineers, as part of the integrated project team, were sent to Wood Group Offices in Staines, UK and Houston, USA for an
initial six months.
The training programme included the review of operating strategy and philosophy reports including the mitigation and management
of flow assurance-related issues; review of operating procedures and manuals for operators. Others modules included process
design activities such as process simulation, review of subsea BOD’s, PFD’S and P & IDs, HAZOP participation and determination of
operational procedures.
The training boosted their confidence and provided them with new skills. It also helped Hydra to re-focus its trainee Engineering
programme.

The TEN project
12. MESSAGEFROMPARTNERS
I am delighted that the TEN Project has been delivered on time. This is an historic moment for
Ghana whose oil production will increase significantly when the TEN Fields reach plateau
production. This will bring more revenue into Ghana, create more investment and deliver more
jobs. With the Jubilee Field already producing and other oil & gas projects underway, Ghana has
the opportunity to become an economic powerhouse in West Africa.
It is also an historic moment for Tullow - the company I founded in 1986. TEN is the first major
development project that the Group has operated from discovery through to First Oil. I am
delighted that this project has been delivered on budget and has been on schedule since the day
the plan of development was signed in 2013. I congratulate the project team on this outstanding
achievement and thank our Partners, Kosmos, Anadarko, GNPC and PetroSA, for their support
throughout
I would also like to thank the various organisations within Ghana that have supported our work: the Office of the President, Ministry
of Petroleum, Petroleum Commission of Ghana, Ghana Navy, Environmental Protection Agency, Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority,
Ghana Maritime Authority and Western Region Chiefs.
Tullow is Africa’s leading independent oil company and we believe there are huge advantages to being a more nimble operator than
the industry giants, which makes us the partner of choice in Africa. We are able to selectively develop our discoveries and apply a
focus to our developments. We all know it has been a difficult couple of years for the industry but market conditions appear to have
stabilised and I anticipate Tullow replicating the success of the TEN Project across Africa.
I am immensely proud of our role in unlocking Ghana’s oil resources at TEN and Jubilee and I look
forward to continuing our successful partnership for many years to come.
Aidan Heavey, CEO Tullow Oil
The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and our Partners – Tullow Oil, Kosmos Energy,
Anardarko Petroleum and PetroSA – are pleased to have successfully achieved production of First Oil
from the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) Field.
Back in 2010, we achieved a major feat with the development of the Jubilee Field in record time.
We have not rested on our laurels since and today, we are witnessing another milestone
development. Ghana can lay claim to two world-class oil producing fields. As the anchor partner in
Ghana’s search for self-sufficiency in oil and gas, we deem this a significant achievement.
With over 245 million barrels of oil expected to be produced over the 20-year lifespan of the project,
TEN brings to the economy, new revenue streams and an additional 353 billion cubic feet of gas to
supplement and diversify domestic supply to mitigate the challenges in the power sector.
Capacity Development
GNPC staff were embedded in all stages of this Project – the designing, fabrication and installation of subsea infrastructure, the
construction of the Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO John Evans Atta Mills) among other activities.
We are equally proud of the key roles played by other Ghanaian companies in delivering a quality project, within budget and on
schedule. For us at GNPC, the real measure of success of this Project is in the wealth of experience acquired by Ghanaians which
will be applied to other upcoming projects.
Local Content & Local Participation
GNPC in collaboration with key state institutions continue to put in place measures and pursue strategies to enhance the
benefits that Ghanaians derive from the petroleum industry.
Information from the Petroleum Commission indicates that the upstream petroleum sector, has provided over 7,000 jobs, out
of which about 80% are Ghanaians.
Local content is enhanced in the TEN Project compared with Jubilee. For example, 23 out of the 24 Christmas Trees (subsea
equipment for production installed on the seabed), were assembled and tested by Ghanaian engineers in an FMC yard in
Takoradi, Ghana. Additionally, the deck stools for the FPSO, suction piles, mud mat, slippers, jumpers, gas export manifold
among other components, were fabricated and tested in Ghana.

Kosmos Energy and its partners in the West Cape Three Points and Deepwater Tano blocks
unlocked a new petroleum system in the Tano Basin nine years ago. When we discovered the
massive Jubilee field, we were confident that it was only the beginning. Subsequently, we
discovered other fields which included the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) fields, which
recently produced First Oil!
We are proud of the progress made and milestones achieved on the TEN project, including the
First Oil celebration. It is another demonstration of our commitment and contribution to
developing the oil and gas industry to benefit the people of Ghana. We are also proud of the many
Ghanaian companies who built significant parts of the production facilities.
On behalf of everyone at Kosmos Energy, I would like to congratulate the government and its
citizens, our esteemed partners at Tullow Oil, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum, and Petro SA, as well as
the local Ghanaian businesses that are contributing to the success of the TEN projects.
Kosmos Energy values its long-term partnership with the government and people of Ghana, and our shared commitment to making
a difference to the country. Together, we are advancing progress and will be enhancing
lives for many years to come.
Andrew G. Inglis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
“We are delighted to share in this important milestone of First Oil at the TEN development with
all Ghanaians, as this world-class project continues to build upon the strong partnership that
began almost a decade ago with the discovery of the adjacent Jubilee field.
We congratulate the Ghanaian government and our co-venturers for their leadership and
cooperation, which helped to maintain an aggressive delivery schedule for a project of this scale,
while also achieving Local Content objectives and strong safety performance. We look forward to
continued and shared successes with the people of Ghana for years to come.”
Al Walker, Anadarko Chairman, President and CEO
“As PetroSA we are delighted that PetroSA Ghana Limited is part of the joint venture partnership
that delivers First Oil from the offshore TEN Development. We are especially pleased that the
project adhered to the budget and time frame initially forecasted resulting in Ghana’s second
major project, after Jubilee, to come on stream in August 2016.
The success of the TEN Development bears testament to the great synergy between the joint
venture partners and the Government of the Republic of Ghana. It is also a great
accomplishment that the gas from the TEN Fields will assist the people Ghana with much
needed power generation.
We further congratulate all stakeholders on this tremendous achievement and hope the
partnership between the joint venture and the people of Ghana will fortify into an ever greater
force to strengthen our continent’s continued development”.
Siphamandla Mthethwa, PetroSA Acting Group Ceo
We salute companies like Seaweld Engineering Limited, Group Five Construction Ghana Limited, Orsam Limited, and GNPC-
Technip Engineering Services Limited among many others for their various roles in this Project. The fabrication yard, for the
Project in Sekondi, Western Region is now available for other projects.
Going Forward
These achievements notwithstanding, there is still the need for further enhancements in local participation in the highly technical
aspects of oilfield operations. It is therefore incumbent on all players to take a closer look at Section 4(6) of the Local
Content L.I. 2204, which creates opportunities for Ghanaian companies to form joint ventures with foreign companies.
As an enabler in Ghana’s energy sector, GNPC will continue to leverage its unique position to ensure that the sector
value chain thrives for sustainable development.
