Let’s have a quick understanding on Ghana’s sedimentary basins by a table,
| Table 1. Sedimentary Basins in Ghana |
 |
Basin |
Status |
| Tano-Cape Three Points |
Shallow/Deepwater well explored; Ultra deepwater unexplored |
| Saltpond |
Shallow water moderately explored |
| Accra-Keta |
Shallow water moderately Explored; Deepwater poorly explored |
| Voltaian |
Huge Potential Untested; Barely Explored |
On the 1st Deep Offshore West Africa Congress held on June 22-23, 2016 in Accra, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation, the state-owned oil explorer, share Ghana’s key deepwater projects updates,
