Tullow Ghana and its partners have announced the restart of drilling operations in the Jubilee Field, marking a renewed phase of investment and confidence in Ghana’s energy future.
The two-year programme begins this May and is expected to boost oil production and operational efficiency at one of West Africa’s strategic oil fields.
This new campaign follows the successful completion of Tullow’s previous four-year drilling programme in December 2024, which delivered 18 new wells—six months ahead of schedule and under budget. The earlier campaign was noted for its efficiency, strong safety record, and disciplined cost management.
The upcoming campaign will be rolled out in phases, starting in May 2025, with additional activity planned for November and extending into 2026. Building on previous high-performance records, Tullow aims to elevate drilling management throughout the project.
Tullow Ghana Managing Director, Jean-Médard Madama, said:
“This is an exciting moment for us. The restart of drilling reflects another milestone in our journey in Ghana and shows our confidence in the country’s resource base. Even as the field matures, we are confident in its capacity to deliver value—for our shareholders, partners, and the people of Ghana.”
Despite entering a mature phase, the Jubilee Field remains a critical source of production and revenue for key stakeholders in the sector. This new campaign aims to unlock further value.
Tullow recently completed a 16-day maintenance operation at the Jubilee Field to upgrade facilities and reduce operational risks ahead of the drilling campaign.
