Parliament’s Energy Committee tours TOR, GOIL and Sentuo Refinery to assess operations and fuel supply
As part of a broader strategy to improve healthcare infrastructure and access to quality healthcare in Ghana, President John Dramani Mahama is expected to cut sod in the coming weeks for the construction of three 160-bed Regional Referral Hospitals.
The Energy Committee of Parliament has embarked on a three-day tour to inspect crucial oil and petroleum facilities across Ghana. The committee's itinerary starts with visits to the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), GOIL, and Sentuo Refinery. The primary objective of this tour is to evaluate the operational status, current work, and production capacity of these facilities. Furthermore, the committee aims to address other significant concerns raised by Parliament members.
As fuel prices soar, the committee seeks a deeper understanding of the developments within Ghana's petroleum downstream sector. The tour will concentrate on the refineries' operations, their present production capacity, and their potential to generate petroleum products for the domestic market. Additionally, the committee is keen on learning about the progress made by each refinery and their future plans to boost output.
During the tour, the committee intends to interact with refinery management regarding production levels, the products currently being produced, and the available capacity for expanding production in the near future. The information gathered from this tour will be instrumental in shaping future discussions in Parliament, particularly concerning refinery operations, petroleum product supply, and fuel prices.
