The survey, which began earlier this month, is expected to last approximately 45 days, concluding in early March 2025. It is designed to identify optimal drilling locations, ensuring the efficient and sustainable extraction of oil and gas resources.
Leading the programme is Norwegian firm Shearwater GeoServices, a global leader in marine seismic operations. Shearwater’s state-of-the-art vessel, the SW Duchess, has been deployed for the survey, boasting cutting-edge technology and decades of expertise. In a bid to promote local industry participation, Tullow Ghana has partnered Ghanaian company Destra Energy for the execution of the survey. This partnership aligns with Tullow Ghana’s commitment to fostering local involvement in the nation’s oil and gas sector.
Ahead of the survey, Tullow Ghana and its partners conducted extensive stakeholder consultations to ensure smooth implementation. Key stakeholders engaged included the Petroleum Commission, the Ghana Navy, the Ghana Marine Authority, the Canoe Council, local contractors, and other critical groups.
