Tullow Ghana Limited (TGL) has highlighted decade-long contributions to Ghana’s burgeoning oil and gas industry.
Last week, the Company engaged with Civil Society and Non-Governmental Organisations in Ghana. The aim was to update the CSO and NGO community on TGL’s work in the country and provide them with information on the socio-economic benefits of Tullow’s operations.
The meeting was also to re-establish a stronger, more robust relationship with CSOs and NGOs, who play a leading role in advocacy and shaping national policy and development.
TGL’s Director of External Affairs, Social Performance and Local Content, Cynthia Lumor, highlighted Tullow’s work in Ghana from exploration to production and stressed the importance of engaging with CSOs on Tullow’s considerable achievements and prospects in Ghana.
Together with our partners, we have invested approximately $15.6 billion in Ghana over the decade, comprising $2.5 billion in exploration and appraisal, and $ 13.1 billion in development and production. We continue to invest in development and production activities that ultimately benefit all our stakeholders – our host country Ghana, our shareholders and our employees.
Other areas of interest included Tullow’s interest in participating in the upcoming bidding rounds for oil blocks, TGL’s social investments in the Western Region, skills development for the oil and gas sector and sustainability of oil and gas businesses in the context of price volatility.
It is important that TGL collaborates with key stakeholders to ensure optimal growth of the oil and gas industry in Ghana.
