Making a difference in Ghana
Aker Energy AS was founded in February 2018 and is established as the newest member of the Aker Group.
The E&P company aims to become the offshore oil and gas operator of choice in Ghana. It is characterised by the entrepreneurial and flexible organisation that is synonymous with member companies of the Aker Group. Aker Energy is now operational with offices in Oslo and Accra, the capital of Ghana.
Extensive track-record
Aker Energy benefits from the Aker Group’s extensive track-record within the oil and gas industry around the world. Based on the technological competence and extensive oil services experience gained over decades and recently inspired by Aker BP’s record of success in its way of working on the Norwegian Continental Shelf; Aker Energy will be able to deliver streamlined fast-track development projects offshore Ghana.
Aker Energy will base its operating model on that of Aker BP, building its operations on an integrated, flexible and efficient structure for decision making. The integration is based on strong alliances with suppliers, developing cost efficient solutions. Furthermore, the company intends to be at the forefront of the digitalisation of oil and gas operations.
Deepwater Tano Cape Three Points block
The company has a 50 percent participating interest in the Deepwater Tano Cape Three Points block (“DWT/CTP”), covering approximately 2,010 square kilometres in a prolific petroleum region approximately 70 miles offshore Ghana.
Building up the Ghanaian oil and gas industry
A number of Aker companies have been present in the Ghanaian industry for years, and Aker Energy intends to play a significant role in building up the Ghanaian oil and gas industry going forward. The Pecan development project in the DWT/CTP will be the fourth producing field offshore Ghana and the first stage in Aker Energy’s journey in Ghana.
Aker Energy is committed to deliver training and industrial development contributing with several direct and indirect job opportunities in Ghana through its operations, as well as the know-how and experience successfully developed in the Norwegian petroleum industry over the last 30 years.
