The Ministry of Energy has unveiled bold new reforms targeting Ghana’s offshore oil and gas sector. These reforms aim to restore investor confidence, streamline exploration licensing, and encourage environmentally responsible extraction.
A major element of the reform is the introduction of a transparent bidding system, replacing direct negotiations for oil blocks. Revised fiscal terms, anti-corruption safeguards, and local content policies are also being implemented to create a more investor-friendly landscape.
Companies like Kosmos Energy and Tullow Oil have welcomed the changes, pledging new investment in the Jubilee and TEN oil fields. At the same time, watchdog groups are pushing for stronger community safeguards and environmental protections.
If successful, these reforms could lead to an uptick in production, job creation, and national revenue in the coming years.
Is this the turning point of Ghana's economy?
