Aker Energy, an oil and gas operator, completed the acquisition of Hess Ghana from Hess, an energy company. Financial terms were not disclosed. “We are very pleased to announce the completion of our acquisition of Hess Ghana, marking our formal entrance as an E&P company in Ghana. Our organisation, counting some 90 people at the moment, has already worked intensely for months to progress the PoD for the Pecan field together with Ghana National Petroleum Corporation and the other licence partners. We will now step up our activity by recruiting experienced people both in Oslo and Accra that will play important roles in helping us develop into the operator of choice in Ghana,” Jan Arve Haugan, Aker Energy CEO.
