Tuesday 10 October 14:30 - 14:45 Stage A
National Showcases
Ghana’s petroleum industry has witnessed significant progress over the last decade, making it one of the most promising sectors in West Africa. Following its initial growth cycle that started with the commissioning of the Jubilee, TEN and SGN fields, Ghana is determined to take its industry to the next level by leveraging on the inland Voltaian Basin and other Ultra Deepwater projects. Exploration activities in ultra deepwater offshore Ghana together with work being done on the inland Voltaian basin are expected to result in discoveries to shore up the reserves of the country. Existing operators are also currently involved in significant brownfield expansions to mitigate production decline and monetise gas, thereby enhancing the sustainability of their assets while making more energy available for Ghana’s industries and households. But more is on the table as new offshore hubs progress towards FID and delayed exploration programmes are put back on the table.
In this session, we invite the government of Ghana and its operators to discuss the future drilling campaigns, plans to unlock Ghana’s local and regional gas potential, and the outlook for the country’s upstream sector
