Italian energy company Eni has started natural gas production from the Sankofa gas field offshore Ghana as the West Africa nation still awaits firm progress on one of the various LNG import projects it has been involved in to meet its growing energy needs.

May 22 (LNGJ) - Italian energy company Eni started production on an integrated oil and gas project offshore the West African state of Ghana, providing among other resources about 40 billion cubic metres of natural gas. “The project includes the development of gas fields whose production will be utilized entirely by Ghana’s domestic market,” said Eni. “The launch of the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) project will provide gas to Ghana for over 15 years and the resulting electricity will give a real boost to the country’s development,” added Eni.
