GOIL PLC, under the leadership of its Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. Edward Abambire Bawa, has held a strategic engagement session with the leadership of the GOIL Transporters Union to discuss ongoing reforms, innovations, and measures aimed at enhancing operational efficiency across the company’s logistics and distribution network.

The meeting forms part of the Group CEO’s broader stakeholder engagement initiative, designed to strengthen collaboration, deepen transparency, and ensure that all key partners remain aligned with the company’s long-term strategic direction.

Mr. Bawa expressed profound appreciation to the transporters for their unwavering dedication and the critical role they continue to play in the company’s growth. He explained that the meeting was motivated by his desire to connect with what he described as “members of the GOIL household,” to listen to their experiences and ensure that every operational layer is aligned with GOIL’s mission of excellence, safety, innovation, and accountability.

Providing an update on ongoing reforms, the Group CEO highlighted new systems being implemented to streamline operations - particularly in the areas of claims processing and product allocation. He noted that delays in the payment of transporters’ claims have largely been due to late submissions. To address this, GOIL has developed a new automated claims processing system, which is currently undergoing testing. Once fully deployed, the system will significantly expedite verification and payment timelines, ensuring a more seamless process for transporters.

Mr. Bawa further revealed that a dedicated team has been commissioned to audit the product loading and allocation processes to promote fairness, transparency, and equal opportunity for all transporters across the distribution chain.

The Chairman of the Transporters Union, Dr. (Med) Samuel Asiamah, commended the Group CEO for his vision and commitment to strengthening the bond between management and the transporters. He praised the reforms as timely and impactful interventions that will enhance efficiency, welfare, and overall operational harmony. Dr. Asiamah reiterated the union’s readiness to continue supporting GOIL’s strategic growth and sustainability agenda.

Mr. Bawa also disclosed that out of a total claims bill of approximately GHS 207 million covering part of 2024 to August 2025, GOIL has already paid about GHS 157 million, leaving a reduced outstanding balance, highlighting management’s commitment to honouring its obligations despite financial pressures within the petroleum downstream sector.

Concluding his remarks, Mr. Bawa reaffirmed GOIL’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards of product quality, safety, and service delivery. He encouraged transporters to uphold discipline, professionalism, and integrity in their operations, emphasizing that their contribution remains central to GOIL’s status as Ghana’s leading indigenous oil marketing company.

The Group CEO of GOIL PLC, Edward Bawa, has held strategic discussions with the company’s upstream joint venture partners, Planet One. The discussions formed a significant step in GOIL Upstream’s Deepwater Cape Three Points (DwCTP) project, which marks the company’s strategic entry into Ghana’s upstream petroleum sector.

The meeting focused on ensuring full readiness ahead of the exploratory drilling campaign scheduled for next year, with attention on operational preparedness, financing, local content participation, and strict adherence to regulatory and environmental standards.

Mr. Bawa emphasized that the DwCTP project goes beyond exploration, reflecting GOIL’s determination to build local technical capacity, enhance national energy security, and position Ghanaian enterprise at the core of upstream value creation.

He further stressed GOIL’s commitment to working closely with stakeholders such as the Petroleum Commission, GNPC, and host communities to ensure the venture delivers meaningful contributions to Ghana’s energy future.

As Ghana’s leading indigenous integrated energy company, with operations spanning fuels, lubricants, bitumen, and upstream petroleum, GOIL’s bold foray into exploration signals a turning point,  one that underscores the capacity of local enterprise to compete in a highly technical sector while ensuring that the benefits of the country’s oil resources remain anchored at home.

GOIL PLC, Ghana’s leading indigenous oil and gas marketing company, has announced plans to add 12,000 metric tonnes of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage capacity within the next year, supported by an investment of $5 million.

The Group CEO and Managing Director, Edward Abambire Bawa, disclosed this during a panel discussion on “Monetising LPG to Enhance the Value of the Barrel in Africa’s Inland Markets” at the Africa Energy Week (AEW) 2025 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Mr. Bawa explained that Ghana’s LPG consumption stood at 340 million kilograms in 2024, yet existing storage infrastructure covers only two to three weeks of national demand. “This storage limitation is both a challenge and a prime investment opportunity. Expanding infrastructure is fundamental to unlocking the full monetisation potential of LPG, benefiting producers, distributors, and end consumers alike,” he stated.

The expansion aligns with GOIL’s broader commitment to infrastructure development. Recent initiatives include the rollout of multiple Autogas stations in five regions, including Accra and Kumasi, and the inauguration of a polymer-modified bitumen terminal in Tema. GOIL currently operates over 438 service stations nationwide, serving diverse consumer segments with fuels, LPG, and lubricants while driving sustainable growth and strategic partnerships.

Mr. Bawa further noted that GOIL is committed to improving access to LPG, especially in rural areas, through well-designed policies, increased investment, and innovative business models such as digital payment solutions tailored to household cash flows.

At the AEW exhibition, GOIL showcased its expanding energy portfolio, highlighting opportunities in Autogas and its two LPG Cylinder Recirculation Plants in Accra and Tema. These facilities provide safe, affordable, and cleaner LPG access to domestic consumers. The company also presented the newly commissioned multi-million-dollar Bitumen plant in Tema, underscoring its contribution to Ghana’s energy and infrastructure sectors.

The panel discussion also featured industry experts, including Mohammed Amin Naderian of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, Sebastian Wagner of DMWA Resources, and Sesakho Magadla, CEO of PetroSA, who shared perspectives on LPG monetisation across Africa.
