The Acting Chief Executive Officer of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Kwame Ntow Amoah, has promoted Ghana as an attractive destination for energy investment, pointing to expanding upstream opportunities, ongoing sector reforms and strategic partnerships within the petroleum industry.
Mr. Amoah made the remarks during the Energy Investment Opportunities Panel at the Ghana-UK Investment Summit 2026 held in London.
The summit brought together government officials, investors, financiers and industry leaders to discuss opportunities for trade, investment and economic cooperation between Ghana and the United Kingdom.
Addressing participants at the event, the GNPC CEO highlighted available opportunities within 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 competitive investment destination supported by a stable operating environment, established petroleum infrastructure, proven petroleum systems and strong collaboration between government, GNPC and international partners.
Mr. Amoah also pointed to ongoing investments in producing assets such as the Jubilee and TEN fields, alongside planned measures aimed at increasing gas production from the OCTP Sankofa-Gye Nyame project.
According to him, sustaining production from mature fields, advancing frontier exploration, expanding gas infrastructure and strengthening investor confidence will be critical to Ghana’s future growth in the petroleum sector.
He further highlighted opportunities being pursued through GNPC’s exploration subsidiary, Explorco, especially within the Voltaian Basin, while emphasizing the importance of policy and fiscal reforms in improving competitiveness.
“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 stated.
The summit formed part of wider efforts to strengthen economic relations between Ghana and the United Kingdom while showcasing investment opportunities across key sectors of the economy.
