Tullow starts oil drilling again in Ghana’s Jubilee Field
The two-year Tullow programme begins this month and is expected to boost oil production and operational efficiency in one of West Africa’s strategic oilfields
Tullow Ghana and partners have announced the restart of drilling operations in the Jubilee Field, marking a renewed phase of investment and confidence in Ghana’s energy future.
The two-year programme begins this month and is expected to boost oil production and operational efficiency on one of West Africa’s strategic oilfields.
This new campaign follows the successful completion of Tullow’s previous four-year drilling programme in December 2024, which delivered 18 new wells – six months ahead of schedule and below budget. The earlier campaign was noted for its efficiency, safety record and disciplined cost management.
The upcoming campaign will roll out in phases, beginning in May 2025, with additional activity scheduled for November and extending into 2026. Building on previous high-performance records, Tullow is looking to take drilling management to new heights throughout this project.
Tullow Ghana’s managing director, Jean-Médard Madama, said, “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.”
Despite entering a mature phase, the Jubilee Field remains a critical source of production and revenue base for key stakeholders in the sector, and this new campaign will seek to unlock further value.
Tullow recently concluded a 16-day maintenance activity on the Jubilee Field to upgrade operations and reduce risks ahead of the drilling campaign.
