BUZZ-Tullow Oil sells first oil cargo from Ghanian TEN field

LONDON, July 7 (Reuters) -

* UK independent Tullow Oil (LSE: TLW.L - news) issued a sell tender this week for its first cargo of crude from its offshore TEN field, traders said.

* The 650,000 barrel cargo is due to load Aug. 28-29. The tender closed on Thursday afternoon but the winner could not be immediately confirmed.

* The grade is sweet with an API (Stuttgart: 565969.SG - news) gravity of about 33 degrees, one of the sources said.

* The TEN field is expected to come on stream in the next three to six weeks and produce an average of 23,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) gross this year, Tullow said at the end of June.

* Tullow's key asset in Ghana is the offshore Jubilee field that produced around 100,000 bpd in 2015, according to its website. (Reporting By Julia Payne)
