Resilient economics – The region rebounded strongly after the pandemic with 4.3 % GDP growth in 2021 and is expected to maintain > 4 % p.a. through 2023-24, outpacing many emerging markets.

Optimising Our West African Oil & Gas Strategy:

Our strategy is focused on the region’s two key growth engines—Ghana and Nigeria. By positioning Ghana as our pan-African trading hub, we can:

channel investment into competitive, well-regulated markets;

streamline cross-border supply lines for crude and refined products; and

offer reliable, price-transparent access to energy for the wider ECOWAS bloc.

Why Ghana Is Our Gateway:

Strategic location – A deep-water Atlantic coastline, efficient ports (Tema & Takoradi) and a stable, English-speaking business environment make Ghana the natural conduit for land-locked Sahel economies.

Regulatory clarity – Consistent NPA oversight and investor-friendly policies accelerate project approvals and protect capital flows.

Leveraging the combined economic strength of Ghana and Nigeria allows Portica OGR to accelerate growth, enhance supply security, and advance sustainable development across West Africa’s oil-and-gas value chain.

Portica OGR’s Value Proposition:

1. Regional Hub Development

Build storage, blending and pipeline assets to channel refined products into Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali and beyond.

3. High-Impact Alliances
