This year’s edition covers a range of topics, including the country’s first-ever licensing round, measures aimed at boosting investor confidence, the government’s plans to turn Ghana into a regional logistics and petroleum hub, the increasing role gas is playing in the country’s energy mix and the achievements of the local content law since its enactment in 2013. “The exciting aspect about this achievement [the Afina-1x well discovery] is that it’s not just for Springfield, but is for the entire continent – to say that Africans can do things and we do them very well once we put our minds to it. We think that this will unleash the potential of Africa.” Kevin Okyere, Founder and CEO of Springfield Group, TOGY Ghana 2020 Indigenous Company of the Year Ghana is putting the pieces in place to increase its energy profile on the African continent, such as expanding E&P activities to reach 500,000 bopd by 2024, initiating policies to increase transparency in the awarding of blocks and ultimately creating a regional hub for the hydrocarbons industry.

Book Description
TOGY is proud to present the The Oil & Gas Year Ghana 2019, published in collaboration with Ghana Oil Club. This third edition covers the lessons learned from the global oil price downturn and the opportunities that are becoming available as commodity prices recover. The book also provides readers with a complete perspective of the country’s main energy projects and steps the government is taking to draw in more foreign investment. Due to a prospective upswing in oil and gas activity, Ghana’s offshore industry continues to expand, with capacities being renovated at the main ports of Tema and Takoradi. Meanwhile, companies continue bringing in new technologies to advance Ghana’s E&P and renewables potential as the country modernises. Moreover, Ghana’s downstream sector is hugely competitive. As Ghana works to promote investment in its oil and gas industry, surrounding sectors are being hit with massive changes. Ensuring the competence of next generations, major firms and universities have launched courses or research chairs in petroleum studies. Extensive in-depth analysis is supported by comprehensive maps, illustrations and graphs to create a market guide essential for players seeking to either expand their operations or enter the Ghanaian oil and gas market.

Book Description
Oil exploration in the developing world has been and continues to be a high profile and high risk activity attracting media coverage and stimulating much debate. In Governance of the Petroleum Sector in an Emerging Developing Economy, Professor Kwaku Appiah-Adu has assembled an edited volume that provides insight into critical aspects of this highly sensitive activity. Professor Appiah-Adu’s starting point is Ghana, where he has been closely involved in national policy-making. The book makes comparisons between that African country and others as diverse as Trinidad and Tobago, and Norway. The contributors, global experts in their respective fields, explore five critical themes and propose strategies for progress in each. You will find an in-depth analysis relating to: turning oil and gas wealth into sustainable and equitable development; entrenching transparency and stakeholder engagement; effective management of the oil and gas sector; and safeguarding security and the environment. Finally, country specific models and lessons, particularly for Ghana and other African oil producing nations, are offered. This book serves as reference for business practitioners, policy makers, scholars, students and anyone interested in gaining insight into the oil and gas sector, particularly as it pertains to Ghana and other African petroleum producing nations, with lessons drawn from the global arena and international best practice.

Book Description
Energy is a key resource for transformational development globally. Oil and gas continue to play a key role in this sector irrespective of the gradual transition towards renewables and will continue to do so in most developing and emerging economies in the near future. The industry is complex and highly capital intensive not only with significant risk, but also with significant benefits. Such a complex but important sector is generally not well understood both in academic and policy circles. This book fills this void by serving as a comprehensive reference to the oil and gas sector, with a focus on emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). It offers in-depth coverage of the critical and contemporary issues in the economics of the oil and gas industry by carefully integrating the relevant theoretical underpinnings and practical policy issues across the value chain of the industry in relation to the development, fiscal arrangements, and the economic and financing aspects of the industry. These insights will significantly deepen the understanding of the industry and extend knowledge of the sector in ways that existing books do not. The book includes relevant cases and, thus, will serve as a valuable resource for students taking courses in market analysis of the oil and gas industry, energy economics, development economics and finance, environmental and resource economics, the political economy of the extractive industry, and development studies. Researchers and practitioners working in these areas will also find the book to be a useful reference guide.

Book Description
This book gives a comprehensive overview of Ghana’s hydrocarbon economy using actor network and assemblage theories to contest the methodological nationalism of mainstream accounts of the resource curse in resource-rich countries. Drawing upon recent field research focused on Ghana’s oil and gas sector and utilizing the theoretical framework of actor network theory, the authors contend that there is an assemblage of political, economic, social and environmental networks, processes, actions, actors, and structures of power that coalesce to determine the extent to which the country’s hydrocarbon resources could be regarded as a "curse" or "blessing." This framing facilitates a better understanding of the variety (and duality) of local and global forces and power structures at play in Ghana’s growing hydrocarbon industry. Giving a nuanced and multi-perspectival analysis of the factors that underlie oil-engendered development in Ghana, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of African political economy, development and the politics of resource extraction.

Book Description
“This is a country where the demand profile around resources is growing significantly. The demographics are very exciting, so we are extremely bullish on Ghana.” Wissam Al Monthiry, Managing Director, Tullow Oil Ghana The Energy Year Ghana 2022 highlights Ghana’s strategy to monetise its hydrocarbons resources and capitalise on its socioeconomic stability to become a regional petrochemicals hub and to spread the use of natural gas and LNG – altogether reinforcing the country’s potential as an emerging energy hub in West Africa. “Using natural gas as the fuel for industrial expansion is going to be the pillar of growth for socioeconomic development in the whole African continent.” Ben Asante, CEO, Ghana National Gas Company The Energy Year Ghana 2022 portrays a detailed picture of Ghana’s energy scene under President Nana Akufo-Addo’s renewed administration, focusing on the varied efforts the country is undertaking to enhance its oil and gas production, upgrade its refining capacity and push for an energy transition.

Produced in partnership with the Ministry of Energy, National Petroleum Authority and the Petroleum Commission, this fifth edition of The Energy Year’s Ghana series delivers insight to potential investors on the government’s efforts to push the energy industry forward, providing a clear picture of Ghana’s opportunities at a time when gas is the new oil and the country is driven by its pursuit of the energy transition.
