Promoting Ghana’s investment opportunities, particularly in the oil and gas sector is a firm belief of President Akufo-Addo, the Energy minister, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh addressed the Mediterranean Middle East Scout Group at the RAF Centre in London, United Kingdom in pursuit of this agenda.
In his address, he set out Ghana’s background of discoveries and upstream operations, available blocks for investments, farm-in opportunities, blocks available for direct negotiations, access to petroleum data and the country’s investment climate in general.
He further acknowledged the global trends in the direction of energy transition and noted that events such as the Russia-Ukraine war have sparked an awakening for a ‘just transition’.

Ghana is aware of these global developments and their significance for the development of its petroleum resources to its economic prospects and the wider global economy.
He assured “The Ministry of Energy will continue to work hard in collaboration with its relevant agencies such as the Petroleum Commission and other partners to seek potential investors to collaborate with for sustainable exploitation of our oil and gas”. resources.
