The discussions, taking place at the GNPC Research and Technology Centre, will cover exploration, discovered assets, subsurface geology, engineering, new ventures and commercial development.

GNPC’s team includes geologists, geophysicists, engineers and specialists in new ventures and commercial operations. They will share technical information with their PETRONAS counterparts and explore potential areas of collaboration.

Welcoming the delegation on behalf of GNPC’s chief executive, Hamis Ussif, deputy chief executive for finance, commercial and administration, said the corporation was ready to support productive discussions.

The engagement forms part of GNPC’s efforts to attract investment and technical expertise to develop Ghana’s petroleum resources and identify opportunities for future collaboration.
