Tullow Ghana has officially resumed drilling at the Jubilee Field, signaling a renewed wave of investment and strategic confidence in Ghana’s oil and gas sector. The two-year drilling programme, launched this May, aims to enhance output and operational efficiency at one of West Africa’s flagship oil fields.
This marks a follow-up to Tullow’s recently concluded four-year campaign, which ended in December 2024 with the successful delivery of 18 new wells, six months ahead of schedule and under budget. The previous phase earned commendation for its safety, cost discipline, and technical precision.
The new drilling phase will unfold in several stages, beginning this month, with additional drilling activity planned for November and continuing into 2026. Building on prior performance, Tullow is poised to push drilling innovation and efficiency even further.
“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,” Jean-Médard Madama, Managing Director of Tullow Ghana, noted.
The Jubilee Field, despite its maturity, remains a cornerstone of Ghana’s oil revenue and energy security. The new drilling campaign is expected to tap into additional reserves and sustain production momentum.
