  • What happened to Tema Oil Refinery in Ghana?
  • In May 2021, the Ghanaian government approved the revamping of Ghana’s only refinery, Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), which has been running at a production capacity of 25,000 bopd since 2017 when a furnace exploded and forced the capacity down from 40,000 bopd.‌
  • Why does Ghana need a refinery & pipeline?
  • DOWNSTREAM UPGRADES: Ghana needs to revamp and construct refineries and pipelines and develop storage terminals for domestic and foreign oil products. Due to lack of infrastructure, Ghana’s crude oil has been mostly exported instead of being used for local socioeconomic development.‌
  • How much money is needed to build a new oil refinery in Ghana?
  • The entity was created in September 2021 and tasked with the creation of a USD 60-billion downstream hub. The project involves construction of three 300,000-bpd refineries that are expandable to 500,000 bpd, two oil jetties, two petrochemical plants and a storage facility in Western Ghana. The first phase will demand a USD 12 billion investment.‌
  • Why is Ghana preparing for a new era of gas utilisation?
  • Ghana has invested in key projects that will enable the country to ensure its energy security, set the basis for future monetisation opportunities and pave the way for a sustainable energy transition. If all developments go as planned, the country is gearing up for a new era of gas utilisation and reliable energy production.‌
  • Where is Ghana's petrochemical plant located?
  • A groundbreaking ceremony for the multiphased megaproject’s Phase 1—including a 300,000-b/sd refinery, a petrochemical plant, and extensive storage and port installations—took place on Aug. 19 in Nawule, Jomoro, in Ghana’s Western Region, the office of Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said in an official release.‌
  • What is Ghana Gas working on in 2024?

It will have an initial capacity of 150 mcf [4.25 mcm] per day that will be increased to 300 mcf [8.5 mcm] per day.
