However, these forecasts were overly optimistic, and the reality has been a significant downturn in both production and investment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17734\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ACEP.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1056\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ACEP.jpg 1056w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ACEP-250x189.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ACEP-1000x758.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ACEP-768x582.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ACEP-600x455.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1056px) 100vw, 1056px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>ACEP also addressed the ongoing dispute between Springfield and Eni over the Afina discovery and Sankofa field, highlighting inconsistencies in data used for determining Tract Participation (TP) percentages. The think tank criticized Springfield\u2019s appraisal programme, noting discrepancies in the Oil Water Contact (OWC) estimate, which differed from the Ministry of Energy\u2019s data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the right data had been used from the start, the commercial viability of Afina would have required further assessment, potentially avoiding the waste of three years in the unitization process,\u201d the ACEP director explained.<\/p>\n<p>The think tank also questioned why reservoir flow tests weren\u2019t conducted during the initial drilling campaign, which has now resulted in a costly $50 million re-entry into the Afina well to assess productivity. ACEP called this a failure in regulatory oversight, which has placed an unnecessary financial burden on the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and its partners.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, ACEP expressed disappointment over the lack of collaboration between Springfield and Eni in the appraisal programme, calling it a missed opportunity for a joint effort to establish connectivity between the Afina and Sankofa fields.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of litigating investors, the government should have focused on sound scientific approaches to resolve technical issues. A joint study with Eni would have improved the credibility of the unitization process and saved time,\u201d the Executive Director noted.<\/p>\n<p>Kodzo Yaotse, Policy Lead for Petroleum &amp; Conventional Energy at ACEP, urged the government to adopt transparent and investor-friendly policies, especially in light of global energy transition trends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the world moves towards decarbonization, it is critical for Ghana to ensure that its oil and gas industry is transparent and governed by sound policies. Misgovernance, political interference, and regulatory failures threaten to erode the long-term potential of the sector, leaving Ghana vulnerable in a world of stranded assets,\u201d Yaotse warned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:Felix Nyaaba\/\/expresnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Africa Centre for Energy Policy
