TOR receives one million barrels of Ghana’s Jubilee crude to boost local refining

The Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has taken delivery of one million barrels of Ghana's indigenous Jubilee Medium Sweet Crude, marking another milestone in efforts to restore the country's only state-owned refinery to full operations and expand domestic petroleum refining.

The latest delivery of Jubilee Medium Sweet Crude, produced from one of Ghana's flagship offshore oil fields, forms part of that broader strategy to increase local refining capacity, strengthen energy security and reduce reliance on imported petroleum products.

The crude cargo, delivered aboard the MT Apache on July 15, 2026, is expected to be processed into petroleum products for both the domestic and regional markets as part of the government's strategy to strengthen energy security, reduce dependence on imported refined products and add value to Ghana's crude oil resources.
