The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Mr. Kwame Ntow Amoah, has reiterated the Corporation’s commitment to leading the revitalization of Ghana’s upstream petroleum sector. Speaking at the 2025 Local Content Conference and Exhibition in Takoradi, Mr. Amoah emphasized the need for bold innovation, stronger collaboration, and a renewed national commitment to building local competence.
Mr. Amoah described GNPC as the cornerstone of Ghana’s exploration and production future, highlighting the Corporation’s focus on research, technology, and data-driven exploration. He noted that GNPC has stood at the center of Ghana’s upstream story for over four decades, from the discovery of Jubilee to the rise of new opportunities in the Voltaian Basin.
The GNPC chief executive outlined several initiatives that demonstrate the Corporation’s role as an innovation catalyst. These include progress on the Voltaian Basin Project, aimed at delivering Ghana’s inland drilling program, and the completion of the GNPC Research and Technology Centre, envisioned as a regional hub for energy research, data integration, and industry-academia collaboration. Mr. Amoah also highlighted GNPC’s ongoing work with the Association of Ghanaian Suppliers in the Petroleum Industry to strengthen vendor partnerships and embed local companies across the oil and gas value chain.
The GNPC chief executive commended the Petroleum Commission for sustaining the local content dialogue and described the conference theme as both timely and forward-looking. He emphasized that revitalizing Ghana’s petroleum sector is not solely GNPC’s task but a shared national responsibility, requiring alignment across policy, investment, and people.
The conference brought together government leaders, international oil companies, local service providers, investors, and academics, setting the tone for three days of dialogue on innovation, financing, and sustainability within Ghana’s energy sector. As the GNPC continues to drive innovation and redefine local content, the Corporation is committed to working with stakeholders to build a competitive energy economy that benefits all Ghanaians.
