Actual and Potential Conflicts Off- and Onshore in Ghana’s Oil-Producing Region (original) (raw)

2017

Abstract

Even though Ghana’s commercial OG extraction is in its infancy, some conflicts have already occurred while others are already brewing in the oil-producing coastal districts. There are also potentially more “hot spots” that might incite social turbulence if left unchecked or allowed to fester. Such conflicts could have a negative impact on communities near Jubilee Field which could spread to the Western Region and, ultimately, to the rest of the nation. This chapter provides an overview of these actual and potential conflicts both on- and off-shore in Ghana’s new oil-producing region.
