Saltpond Oil Field, Ghana’s oldest oil producing field, is to be decommissioned.
The decommissioning is because the field, operated by the Saltpond Offshore Production Company Limited (SOPCL), has declined consistently and is no longer economically viable.
Â
According to the Chief Operating Officer of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Mr Michael Aryeetey, the decommissioning the field formed part of GNPC’s plans for 2016.Â
