Ghana National Petroleum Corporation

GNPC is Ghana's National Oil Company (NOC) which was established in 1983 to replace the Petroleum Department which was an agency under the Ministry of Fuel and power. The department was responsible for the importation of crude oil and petroleum products for the Ghanaian economy. The mandate for oil exploration was held to be the Technical Directorate of the Ministry of Fuel and Power and the Geological Survey Department. The corporation was created to promote the Government of Ghana's objective of supplying adequate and reliable petroleum for the country and the discovery of crude oil in the country's territories. And also to help in reducing the country's dependence on crude oil imports, through the development of the country's own petroleum resources.[1]

In 2025, GNPC signed an energy cooperation pact with Eni and partners of the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) aimed at increasing oil and gas production while also promoting sustainable initiatives.
