Tap announced on Wednesday that Ghana’s Ministry of Energy and Petroleum had granted a six-month extension to the initial exploration period of the Offshore Accra Contract Area’s petroleum agreement.
This extension will give the joint venture additional time to undertake a thorough review of the data from the Starfish-1 well, Tap said.
The probe was drilled in 1500 metres of water by the drillship Stena DrillMax in June.
