Tullow Oil Ghana Limited and its partners have announced the restart of drilling operations at the Jubilee Oil Field in Ghana’s Tano Basin following a temporary suspension since December 2024. The renewed activity aims to boost oil production and operational efficiency at the mature field.
The phased restart began in May 2025, with additional drilling scheduled for November and continuing into 2026. This follows the successful completion of a four-year drilling program in 2024 that delivered five new wells (three producers and two water injectors) brought online approximately six months ahead of schedule without safety incidents.
“The restart of drilling reflects another milestone in our journey in Ghana and shows our confidence in the country’s resource base,” said Jean-Médard Madama, Managing Director of Tullow Ghana. “Even as the field matures, we are confident in its capacity to deliver value—for our shareholders, partners, and the people of Ghana.”
Tullow and its partners have been operating the Jubilee field since 2009, making it a key asset that generates significant high-margin oil production for the Group. Despite entering its mature phase, the Jubilee field remains critical for key industry stakeholders, and Tullow is optimistic that the new drilling campaign will unlock additional value.
