Oil, Gas & Energy
The Western Region is Ghana’s energy powerhouse, home to the country’s offshore petroleum reserves and major energy infrastructure.
As the central hub of Ghana’s oil and gas sector, the region offers a wide range of investment opportunities across exploration, production, refining, logistics, renewable energy, and rural electrification.
- The Jubilee Field, Ghana’s first major offshore oil discovery, is located off the coast of the Western Region, along with other major fields like TEN and Sankofa-Gye Nyame.
- The region hosts operations by leading international and national oil companies including Tullow Oil, ENI, Kosmos Energy, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), and their service partners.
- Takoradi is the main onshore support base for these offshore operations, with growing infrastructure for logistics, warehousing, and crew services.
Opportunities in Upstream:
- Supply of drilling fluids, spare parts, and engineering services
- Subcontracting for seismic surveys and marine logistics
- Fabrication yards, welding services, and equipment maintenance
- Vessel supply and crew management
There is increasing demand for investments in the downstream oil and gas value chain, including:
- Petroleum storage facilities and tank farms
- Gas processing and distribution systems
- Filling stations and LPG distribution, especially in growing towns
- Lubricant blending plants and packaging units
- Retail network development, especially in underserved districts
The Takoradi Port and Sekondi Industrial Enclave serve as key hubs for fuel import, storage, and distribution, and are being expanded under government-private sector partnerships.
Support industries in oil and gas are still underdeveloped, creating room for:
- Logistics parks with customs clearance, warehousing, container handling
- Helipads, aviation services, and shuttle boats for offshore worker movement
- Catering, accommodation, and waste management services for oil field staff
- Safety training and HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) consultancy
There is particular demand for local businesses that meet international standards, making it an ideal space for joint ventures and technical assistance.
