<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The Eban/Akoma Oil and Gas Project is an in-development conventional offshore oil and gas project in Ghana’s Cape Three Points Block 4 (CTP Block 4). It comprises the Eban and Akoma discoveries,announced by Eni in 2021. The project is operated by Eni,with ownership including Eni SpA,Vitol,Woodfields Energy Resources,Ghana National Petroleum Co,and GNPC Explorco. The discoveries were declared commercially viable in 2025,and plan-of-development preparation is underway.</p>
<h2>Location and Block</h2>
<p>The project is located offshore Ghana in CTP Block 4,also known as Cape Three Points Block 4,in the western offshore area near established petroleum provinces. The block is part of Ghana’s upstream development pipeline.</p>
<h2>Fields and Infrastructure</h2>
<p>The Eban-1X well (oil discovery) and Akoma-1X well (gas and condensate discovery) form the project’s discovery complex. Eni described the complex as having substantial oil and gas potential based on early exploration results. No final development concept has been publicly confirmed; potential synergies with existing Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) infrastructure have been discussed. No specific facilities such as FPSO,platform,pipeline,or processing capacity are confirmed.</p>
<h2>Operator and Ownership</h2>
<p>Eni is the operator of the project. Ownership includes Eni SpA,Vitol,Woodfields Energy Resources,Ghana National Petroleum Co (GNPC),and GNPC Explorco. In 2025,the partners signed a memorandum of intent with the Government of Ghana that included development of Eban-Akoma among broader upstream objectives.</p>

<p>Eni’s 2021 announcement indicated preliminary in-place estimates of 500–700 million barrels of oil equivalent for the Eban-Akoma complex. The project remains in-development,with plan-of-development preparation and partner-government coordination as key recent activities.</p>
<h2>Production and Reserves</h2>
<p>The project is not publicly confirmed as producing. No first oil,first gas,or commercial production start has been announced. Eni’s preliminary in-place estimate was 500–700 million barrels of oil equivalent. No current production figures are available.</p>
<h2>Recent Developments</h2>
<p>In July 2025,GNPC declared the Eban-Akoma discoveries commercially viable,with the joint venture partners moving toward plan-of-development preparation. In September 2025,Vitol announced that Eni,Vitol,and OCTP partners signed a memorandum of intent with the Government of Ghana that included development of Eban-Akoma among objectives to increase oil and gas output. The project has not reached production.</p>
