Ghana Offers Strong Upstream Opportunities For Investors — GNPC CEO.

• Ghana offers investment opportunities in the Accra-Keta, Saltpond, and Tano basins, as well as emerging prospects in the Voltaian Basin.

• The country continues to attract investors due to its stable operating environment, proven petroleum systems, and established infrastructure.

The Acting Chief Executive Officer of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Kwame Ntow Amoah, has highlighted Ghana’s enduring appeal as an energy investment destination, citing a range of upstream opportunities, ongoing sector reforms, and deepening strategic partnerships as key drivers of growth across the petroleum value chain.

Mr. Amoah shared these perspectives during the Energy Investment Opportunities Panel at the Ghana-UK Investment Summit 2026 in London.

The summit brought together government officials, investors, financiers, and industry leaders to explore opportunities for trade, investment, and economic cooperation between Ghana and the United Kingdom.

Speaking alongside policymakers and senior industry figures, the GNPC CEO outlined available opportunities across Ghana’s upstream petroleum sector, including open acreage in the Accra-Keta, Saltpond, and Tano basins, as well as emerging prospects in the Voltaian Basin.

He described Ghana as a compelling investment destination, underpinned by a stable operating environment, proven petroleum systems, well-established infrastructure, and a strong track record of productive partnerships between the government, GNPC, and international investors.

Mr. Amoah also highlighted ongoing investment in existing producing assets, including development programmes within the Jubilee and TEN fields, as well as planned interventions to increase gas production from the OCTP Sankofa-Gye Nyame project.

He stressed that Ghana’s next phase of growth will depend on sustaining output from mature fields, advancing frontier exploration, expanding gas infrastructure, and creating the conditions necessary to attract long-term capital.

He further highlighted opportunities being pursued through GNPC’s exploration subsidiary, Explorco, particularly in the Voltaian Basin, while underscoring the importance of ongoing policy and fiscal reforms in enhancing competitiveness and boosting investor confidence.

“Partnership remains central to the future of Ghana’s petroleum industry. Our objective is to create an environment where investors can deploy capital with confidence while ensuring the country continues to derive long-term value from its resources,” he said.

The Ghana-UK Investment Summit forms part of broader efforts to deepen economic ties between the two countries and showcase opportunities across priority sectors.

For GNPC, the event served as an important platform to engage prospective investors, strengthen existing relationships, and contribute meaningfully to discussions shaping Ghana’s energy future.
