\n Jubilee, discovered in 2007 and operated by Kosmos Energy in partnership with Tullow Oil, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), and PetroSA, has been a backbone of Ghana\u2019s offshore production, but output had gradually declined in recent years due to ageing infrastructure.\n <\/p>\n
\n The new well is part of a broader offshore development programme that includes five additional wells approved for 2026 (four producers and one injector) with drilling of the next producer already under way.\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n The government\u2019s recent approval of licence extensions for Jubilee and the nearby TEN fields through 2040 allows operators to expand recovery, with up to 20 additional wells planned under revised development plans, signalling long-term commitment to maintaining and increasing output.\n <\/p>\n
Production boost to reshape West Africa\u2019s oil landscape<\/p>\n
\n Industry analysts say the ramp-up will not only stabilise Ghana\u2019s output but also increase West Africa\u2019s oil supply, where a few offshore fields dominate exports.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis milestone reflects our commitment to maximising value from existing assets and extending the life of one of Ghana\u2019s most important offshore fields,\u201d Kosmos Energy said, highlighting the strategic significance of the breakthrough.\n <\/p>\n
