Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) is one of our most important integrated projects in Africa. It has been developed in two phases: the development of oil fields, which started production in 2017, and that of non-associated gas fields, which started producing in 2018 and whose production is entirely destined to Ghana. OCTP has reserves for about 40 billion cubic meters of non associated gas and 500 million barrels of oil, and is located about 60 kilometres off the country's coast. In May 2019, we made a new gas and condensate discovery in the CTP-Block 4. The well, drilled on the Akoma exploration prospect located about 50 km from the coast and 12 km north-west from the Sankofa hub, has between 550 and 650 billion cubic feet of gas and 18-20 million barrels of associated condensate. The discovery could be quickly put into production via a subsea tie link to the FPSO John Agyekum Kufuor, the floating production, storage and offloading system. In 2019 development activity of the OCTP oil and gas project was completed. In addition, development activities of the Takoradi-Tema Interconnection project (TTIP) were completed. The project provides for the construction of gas transportation facilities linked to the existing network in the western area of the country. The program will increase the use of natural gas also in the eastern part of the Country. In 2020, 98% of Ghana’s thermal power was generated by gas, more than 50% of which came from the OCTP project. In July 2021 we announced a significant oil discovery on the Eban exploration prospect in CTP Block 4, offshore Ghana. The Eban - 1X well is the second well drilled in CTP Block 4, following the Akoma discovery. Preliminary estimates place the potential of the Eban–Akoma complex between 500 and 700 Mboe in place. Due to its proximity to existing infrastructures, the new discovery can be fast-tracked to production with a subsea tie-in to the John Agyekum Kufuor FPSO, with the aim to extend its production plateau and increase production.
Products and Services
We create energy
In Ghana, the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) project produces gas for the domestic network, contributingto guarantee access to energy in the country and our health projects have improved health services in three different districts.
OCTP energy lights up Ghana
The OCTP project produces non-associated gas in deep waters that will guarantee Ghana at least 15 years of reliable gas supplies at a competitive price, hugely contributing to the country's economic development and energy access. Produced gas is sent to an onshore treatment facility to be fed into the country's network. The project is a perfect example of our Dual flag model of cooperation between the company and host country.

The Livelihood Restoration Plan is an initiative designed to contribute to the economic deiversification for households in the ORF area, providing them with training opportunities aimed at creating new businesses. The programme has trained and supported about 1,400 people in starting new businesses and is transforming local dynamics, generating positive ripples within the district.
