Ghana Gas to Halt Operations: Two-Week Shutdown Ahead

Ghana National Gas Limited Company (Ghana Gas) has announced a planned shutdown of its Gas Processing Plant (GPP) and offshore Gas Export Facilities, starting from August 1st, 2024, and lasting until August 17th, 2024.


The two-week shutdown is aimed at enabling critical safety and essential maintenance works to enhance the plant's operational efficiency and ensure an uninterrupted gas supply.


This was disclosed in a statement issued by Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah, Head of Corporate Communications, on Wednesday, July 31.

The maintenance works are expected to improve the overall performance and reliability of the facilities, ensuring a stable and continuous supply of gas.


Ghana Gas has assured that all necessary measures are in place to minimize any potential impact on gas supply during the shutdown period.


During the shutdown period, the statement said, Lean Gas from the Sankofa-OCTP field will be available for delivery at the Takoradi Distribution Station (TDS).


“Ghana Gas deeply regrets any inconvenience that the shutdown may cause but assures the general public that there will be uninterrupted power supply during the shutdown period.

“We are committed to maintaining the highest standard of safety and operational efficiency,” the statement said.

THE NORTH SEA DILEMMA: HOW TRUMP, KEIR STARMER, AND ANDY BURNHAM ARE SHAPING THE FUTURE OF BRITISH ENERGY

Image
For decades, the North Sea has been one of Europe's greatest energy success stories. From the first commercial discoveries in the late 1960s to the oil boom of the 1970s and 1980s, the basin transformed the United Kingdom into a major hydrocarbon producer, generated hundreds of billions of pounds in tax revenues, and supported entire communities across Scotland and northeast England. Today, however, the North Sea finds itself at the center of a global debate that extends far beyond oil and gas. It is now a battleground between energy security and climate ambition, economic pragmatism and environmental responsibility, and increasingly, between three influential political figures: former UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, newly appointed Prime Minister Andy Burnham, and United States President Donald Trump.

THE SIXTH YEAR OF DECLINE: HAS GHANA'S OIL ALREADY PEAKED?

Image
Over six years, Ghana’s oil production has dropped dramatically, from 71.44 million barrels in 2019 to 37.3 million in 2025. PIAC's 2025 Annual Report presents more than just numbers; it delivers a sobering verdict on the future of Ghana’s petroleum era.  Source: caspianbarrel.org The word "sixth" carries weight here. This is not a first warning or a temporary dip. After six straight years of declining output, the pattern is no longer a caution; it’s reality. Ghana’s crude oil production in 2025 was less than half its 2019 peak. The Public Interest and Accountability Committee confirmed this in its 2025 report, launched in Accra on April 8, 2026, revealing what many had long suspected: the oil fields have peaked, and Ghana is now facing decline. PIAC Chairman Richard Ellimah put it clearly: “Production has fallen from 71.44 million barrels in 2019 to 37.3 million barrels in 2025, a compounded annual decline of 9%. This confirms the common view that Ghana’s oil fields have...
