Ghana, via GNPC/Explorco, plans to drill two exploration wells by Q3 2026 as part of its drive to tap into untapped petroleum reserves, especially in the Voltaian Basin. The move aims to enhance energy security and attract foreign investment.
JHNews || Accra, September 16, 2025 — President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and its subsidiary Explorco will drill two new exploration wells by the end of the third quarter of 2026.
Speaking at the Africa Oil Week Summit, President Mahama said this initiative is part of Ghana’s strategy to maximize its hydrocarbon potential.
