The Acting Chief Executive Offi­cer of the Ghana National Petro­leum Corporation (GNPC) yesterday acknowledged Springfield Explo­ration and Production Limited's role as a pioneering indigenous operator and its contributions to Ghana's upstream sector.

He said indigenous participation remains essential for value reten­tion, investment attraction, and job creation in the industry.

He made these remarks when he welcomed Mr Kevin Okyere, CEO of Springfield Exploration and Production Limited, and his delegation to GNPC's headquar­ters in Tema.

The discussion focused on Springfield's ongoing operations, the broader landscape of Ghana's upstream petroleum sector, and the importance of maximising our hydrocarbon resources, particularly in light of the country's gas supply challenges.
