Springfield secures Deepsea Bollsta Rig to boost Afina offshore oil production

Springfield Exploration and Production (E&P) has secured the Deepsea Bollsta rig from Northern Ocean Limited (NOL) to lead the appraisal of the Afina-1x well in Ghana's offshore West Cape Three Points Block 2 (WCTP-2).

This collaboration, in partnership with the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and GNPC Explorco, signals a strategic move to finalise the unitisation of the Afina-Sankofa oil fields.

The unitisation process is expected to bring significant value to the government and all stakeholders.

Scheduled to begin in October, the well test marks a major milestone for Springfield as it aims to become the first independent African oil producer in deep waters.

Springfield CEO, Kevin Okyere, expressed pride in this achievement, noting that it is a testament to the company's tenacity and commitment to realising Ghana’s oil production potential.
