Sankofa-Gye Nyame (SGN), part of the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) project, is one of Ghana’s three producing offshore fields, operated by Eni off the Western Region. It produced 9,606,544 barrels of crude in 2024, about 20 percent of national output, according to PIAC. First oil was in 2017.
SGN is Ghana’s main domestic gas supplier: the OCTP project supplies a large share of the gas used for thermal power generation. In September 2025 Eni and its partners signed an agreement with the Government to raise OCTP gas supply toward 350 million cubic feet per day by 2028. A long-running unitisation dispute over the Sankofa field was resolved in the operators’ favour, and the Government withdrew its unitisation directive in February 2025.
Eni operates the OCTP block, which contains Sankofa-Gye Nyame, with a 44.44 percent interest. Its partners are Vitol (35.56 percent) and the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (20 percent), per the Ghana Petroleum Register.
Sankofa-Gye Nyame produced 9,606,544 barrels in 2024, down from 11,086,541 barrels in 2023, about 20 percent of national crude output (PIAC 2024 Annual Report).
