Petroleum Hub Development Corporation (PHDC) is a private sector-led initiative spearheaded by the immediate past Akufo-Addo administration to make Ghana the petroleum hub in West Africa.
Before leaving office, the NPP government had secured a 20,000-acre land for the project and signed a $12 billion-deal with TCP-UIC Consortium which comprises Touchstone Capital Group Holdings Ltd., UIC Energy Ghana Ltd., China Wuhan Engineering Co. Ltd., and China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Co. Ltd for the development of the first phase of the Petroleum Hub project in the Jomoro Municipal Area in the Western.
The petroleum hub would have four refineries with a total capacity of 600,000bpd, with each having a capacity of 150,000bpd.
The West African nation established its first crude oil processing refinery, Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) Limited, in 1963, to enhance the country’s economic, investment and development programmes.
Since then, Ghana has not been able to establish any additional oil refinery despite producing oil in commercial quantities from its jubilee oil fields.
TOR, which has a total capacity of 45,000bpd, has been left to struggle by successive governments.
The petroleum hub project will have, among other facilities, storage tanks for crude and finished products, two oil jetties, two petrochemical plants with processing capacity of 45,000bpsd each, as well as waste and water treatment plants.
It is estimated that 780,000 jobs would be created when the project commences and is completed.
