GNPC assures public of successful execution of Saltpond Field project
GNPC
The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) says it is committed to ensuring the successful execution of the Saltpond Field Decommissioning Project (SFDP).
The assurance from the GNPC comes on the back of a publication in the Africa Intelligence media entity, an affiliate of
Indigo Publications ran by Phillipe Vasset on the above subject.
The said publication, authored by one Thibault Lanchon, had called procurement breaches regarding the award of consultancy contracts in respect of the Saltpond decommissioning project.
However, the Corporation in its response described the allegations raised by
Africa Intelligence as “false”.
“The statement that ‘almost 70% of the consultancy work had already been done by the GNPC’s technical teams’ before the project management consultancy contract was awarded is false,” a release issued by the Corporate Affairs Department stated.
The release dated Friday, May 19, 2023, explained: “It should be noted that the scope of the project management consultancy is in three (3) phases:
pre-decommissioning, decommissioning, and post-decommissioning…”
