Under the terms of the MoU, the partners have committed to drilling up to 20 additional wells in the Jubilee field, with investments totalling up to $2 billion over the life of the licences. The partners expect a material increase in gross 2P (proven and probable) reserves, while new measures will also aim to boost gas supply and reduce costs to consumers.
Ghana currently supplies about 425 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day (MMscfd), sourced from the Jubilee and TEN fields, the Sankofa-Gye Nyame field, and imports from Nigeria. This gas supports nearly 70% of the country’s electricity generation.
According to the statement, the agreement brings together Tullow Oil plc, Kosmos Energy, PetroSA, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), and Explorco, and will see the West Cape Three Points (WCTP) and Deep Water Tano (DWT) licences—home to the Jubilee and 10 fields—extended by 15 years.
