President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo visited the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah on September 8 to turn on the valve and commemorate the official first oil from the Jubilee South Area.
The Jubilee South-East Area is expected to add 30,000 barrels of oil per day to the greater Jubilee Field, bringing the total oil production at the Jubilee Field to 100,000 barrels per day by the end of this year.
The Jubilee South-East Area is a joint venture that has received a $1 billion investment from its partners.
After turning on the valve, President Akufo-Addo said this is in fulfillment of the government’s commitment to grow the Ghanaian petroleum industry.
The Jubilee South East project is a joint venture between six oil companies, including Tullow Oil, Kosmos Energy, Kosmos Energy Ghana Investments, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation, PetroSA, and Jubilee Oil Holdings Limited.
Energy Minister, Mathew Opoku-Prempeh, who accompanied the President to turn on the valve, said the Jubilee South East project took into account local content.
“The project has been a huge success, delivered in a record time because of utmost cooperation between the operator, and the Ministry of Energy. It 2021, we started this project and now within two years, we are delivering 30,000 more barrels a day, and we have increased the capacity in two years,” Mathew Opoku-Prempeh stated.
Tullow’s Chief Executive, Wissam Al-Monthiry, said the additional 30,000 barrels of oil per day, in addition to the greater Jubilee Field’s production, marks a major step forward in its production.
Petroleum Commission Chief Executive, Egbert Faibille congratulated the Jubilee partners on the Jubilee South East Project, noting that the involvement of local companies like Orsam Oil and Gas in the fabrication of some subsea installations, such as suction piles and manifolds, demonstrates their commitment to local content.
As the Jubilee partners seek to invest more in the field’s expansion and development, locals are expected to benefit from more jobs and contracts.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
