Ghana: EPI to manage Voltaian Basin seismic

UK seismic consultancy EPI Group’s Ghanaian joint venture EPI SonarTusk has signed a contract to provide project management to Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) for a seismic survey in the Voltaian Basin. The two-year contract will see EPI support the first onshore exploration in Ghana for nearly 40 years, and is intended to acquire a regional 2D seismic programme within the 104,000km² basin. Under the terms of the contract, EPI will define the scope of work, then manage a tender process, creating tender documents, evaluating bids, and assisting GNPC in the selection and supervision of a contractor.
