Why it matters
The agreements are intended to reposition Ghana as a preferred petroleum investment destination. The success of these deals will be measured by the extent to which they lead to increased drilling, new oil discoveries, and job creation. The Ministry of Energy is also reviewing the Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act, 2016, to make the sector more attractive to investors.
