As the oil and gas industry wove its narrative into Ghana鈥檚 development story, there is a need to understand the intertwined dynamics of government policy, existing legislation, and potential legislative shifts.

While there is continuing demand for energy resources, there is also a call for reductions in emissions and the petroleum sector is under pressure to clarify how energy transitions will affect its activities and organisational frameworks, as well as explain the ways in which it can contribute to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This transition to renewable sources has an impact on the petroleum market in Ghana as the landscape for oil and gas companies has profoundly shifted due to the countries and international organisations establishing climate change obligations. The effect of the transition is however yet to be greatly felt within the jurisdiction as hydrocarbons remain a major focus.</p> <p> <strong>Released on</strong> <span class="releasedDate"> Oct 02, 2023</span> </p> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="section-details pb-2 ml-2"> <h2 class="card-title card__name"> <a href="/regulating-flow-oil-gas-angola">Regulating the flow: competition law and oil and gas transfers in Angola </a> </h2> <p class="card-text mb-2 articleDescription ellipsis_small_screen"> The introduction of the competition framework is reshaping how oil and gas transactions are operated in Angola.
