Being the largest basin, the Voltaian Basin is believed to hold enormous oil and gas potential which could propel Ghana into the league of major oil producing countries in Africa. However, this basin is highly unexplored., because it has been scientifically proven that exploration of this basin carries higher risk than most conventional petroleum plays because of its age and probable geological history.
The government has given authorisation to GNPC to spearhead E&P activities in the basin with the aim to build local capacities in E&P activities in-country.
This session will discuss the current exploratory activities, prospects of establishing petroleum system in the basin, and the role IGCs can play in opening up the prospectivity of the Voltaian and East Keta Basins.
