This gas supply agreement will allow the port to
satisfy a quarter of Ghana's energy demand, strengthen its energy security and
help reinforce the country's position as the key LNG hub in the region.
"We are happy to cooperate with Rosneft,
one of the global oil majors, under such a large-scale agreement. I am sure
that as a partner to GNPC, Rosneft will play a leading role in the development
of Ghana's energy sector,” said Fredrick Blay, Chairman of the Board of
Directors, GNPC.
Joint study
Rosneft and GNPC have also signed a framework
cooperation agreement that envisages a joint study of high-priority directions
of mutually beneficial cooperation in development of oil and gas fields, oil
and oil product supplies.
"The signed documents open a new stage in
the development of cooperation between Russia and the Republic of Ghana,” said
Igor Sechin, chief executive officer, Rosneft.
“Ghana has placed itself among dynamically
developing world economies with the energy demand growing year on year. Being a
global energy company, Rosneft is capable of meeting this demand including also
through LNG and natural gas supplies.”
The agreement includes the supply of a volume of
ca. 1.7 mmtpa per day (or 250 mln standard cubic feet), along with its
regasification using the processing capacities of Tema terminal.
