The Government of Ghana, together with Tullow Oil plc, Kosmos Energy PetroSA, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and Explorco have jointly announced that they have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to extend the West Cape Three Points and Deep Water Tano licences to 2040, which cover the Jubilee and TEN fields in Ghana.
As Tullow Oil works to execute its merger with Capricorn Energy, the company is focusing on growth projects.
Tullow Oil says it will continue operations in Africa despite plans by other operators to shift from the continent.
Irish-listed oil and gas explorer Tullow Oil expects to maintain 2022 production at 59,000 to 65,000 barrels of oil per day as it concentrates on assets in Ghana.
The upstream petroleum industry in Ghana was energised with the commercial discovery of oil in the Jubilee Field in 2007.
