The 2025 edition of Africa Oil Week (AOW) concluded in Accra, Ghana’s capital, on Thursday, after four days of insightful discussions and major deal-making announcements.
The premier annual oil and gas event, which was previously hosted in Cape Town, South Africa, has now been permanently relocated to Accra by the organisers, Sankofa Events.
Just like in Cape Town, the Accra edition also attracted several participants from across the globe.
On the final day, a dedicated session was held for Ghana to showcase investment opportunities in its upstream, midstream, and downstream petroleum sectors.
In the afternoon, Dr. Yussif Sulemana, Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, delivered a presentation highlighting opportunities in Ghana’s petroleum sector.
These included available offshore blocks, the onshore Voltaian Basin, a proposed second gas processing plant, gas pipeline infrastructure, an oil jetty, and more.
Dr. Sulemana emphasized Ghana’s stable political environment as a key factor that makes the country an attractive investment destination, assuring potential investors of good returns.
A panel discussion, moderated by Ms. Adwoa Bondzie, Deputy Managing Director of BEST Energies, featured high-level industry leaders, including:
Godwin Edudzi Tameklo Esq., Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA)
Mr. Edmond Kombat Esq., Managing Director of Tema Oil Refinery (TOR)
