Tano Petroleum survey team acquiring geophysical data in Ghana's Western Cape Basin

Exploration stage · Western Cape Basin, Ghana

An early position in Ghana’s next oil and gas frontier.

Tano Petroleum is a Ghanaian-owned exploration company advancing a contiguous onshore licence area towards appraisal drilling — using non-invasive subsurface imaging and AI-assisted geoscience to de-risk targets first.

Technology

De-risking the subsurface before the drill bit

Nuclear magnetic resonance, resistivity profiling, airborne geophysics and machine-learning interpretation are combined into one subsurface model — so prospects are ranked on converging evidence, not a single survey.

How it works

Why Tano

What makes this position different

Proven petroleum province

Our acreage sits within Ghana's Western Cape Basin, the same proven petroleum system that hosts the country's producing fields.

Contiguous onshore acreage

A single, contiguous onshore licence area allows a staged, lower-cost work programme with land access and logistics under our own control.

Evidence before drilling

Multi-physics surveys, geochemistry and fluid sampling are completed and integrated before capital is committed to a well.

Stable jurisdiction

Ghana has a mature petroleum regulatory framework, an established local service base and a long record of international partnership.

Ghanaian-owned, globally advised

A wholly Ghanaian-owned company working with an established London-based technical partner on survey design and interpretation.

Clear investor entry point

Capital is being raised against a defined, phased work programme with measurable technical milestones at each stage.

Roadmap

Three phases to first production

Full roadmap
  1. Phase 1 — current

    Exploration & data acquisition

    High-resolution airborne and ground surveys across the licence area, fluid and surface geochemistry sampling, and integrated interpretation to build a ranked inventory of drillable prospects.

  2. Phase 2 — next

    Appraisal drilling & evaluation

    Drilling of appraisal wells on the highest-ranked structures, followed by logging, well testing and independent resource evaluation to move volumes towards commercial classification.

  3. Phase 3 — long term

    Production & downstream ambition

    Development of commercial discoveries, followed over time by domestic value addition — processing, gas utilisation and distribution — so more of the value chain stays in-country.
