A general introduction to oil and gas law in Ghana
Introductioni Historic overview
The upstream oil and gas activities in Ghana consist of exploration, development and production of oil and gas. These activities are undertaken in five sedimentary basins within Ghana s territorial areas made up of the Tano Basin and Cape Three Points Basin in the Western Region (mostly referred to together as the Western Basin), the Saltpond Basin in the Central Region, the Accra/Keta Basin and the Inland Voltaian Basin. The Western Basin, Saltpond Basin and Accra/Keta Basin are all offshore and have been explored. The Inland Voltaian Basin is onshore and has not been really explored.
