Petroleum Commission Ghana

The Petroleum Commission regulates upstream petroleum activities. Downstream operations require a separate assessment with the relevant authorities; an upstream permit does not cover every petroleum activity.

Licences, permissions & compliance tracks

  • Upstream petroleum activity and service permits
  • Local-content and technical-capacity assessment
  • Activity-specific petroleum approvals

Typical requirements

  • Define the exact regulated activity and operating model
  • Confirm local entity, ownership and capital requirements for the chosen track
  • Prepare applicant, governance and technical-capacity documentation where applicable
  • Verify current forms, fees, approval steps and ongoing obligations with the competent authority

Disclaimer: Timelines and requirements are indicative and depend on the completeness of your application and the regulator's current processing cycle. Contact us for a current, licence-specific assessment.
