Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has received one million barrels of Ghana’s indigenous Jubilee Medium Sweet Crude, marking another major step in the refinery’s ongoing revival and efforts to strengthen the country’s energy security.
The crude cargo, delivered aboard the MT Apache on July 15, 2026, fulfills President John Dramani Mahama’s commitment to ensuring that crude oil produced in Ghana is refined locally to create greater value for the national economy.
The latest shipment is the second one-million-barrel consignment of Ghanaian indigenous crude supplied to TOR under President Mahama’s leadership. The first was delivered in December 2016 during his first term in office aboard the MT Bodeira.
According to TOR, the latest delivery also represents the refinery’s third one-million-barrel crude cargo since May 2026, following earlier shipments of Bonga and Baleine crude. The steady supply has enabled the refinery to continue producing petroleum products for both the domestic and regional markets, helping to improve energy security while supporting industrial growth and value addition.
The Board, Management and Staff of TOR expressed profound appreciation to President Mahama for what they described as his unwavering commitment and visionary leadership in reviving Ghana’s only state-owned refinery.
The refinery also commended the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, for his strategic guidance and continuous support in restoring refining operations and ensuring a reliable supply of crude oil.
TOR further acknowledged the contributions of its partners across the petroleum value chain, including crude suppliers Fujairah and Triangle Trading Commodities, regulators, financiers, logistics providers and technical partners, for their collaboration in the refinery’s resurgence.
The refinery reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the link between Ghana’s upstream and downstream petroleum sectors, creating jobs, reducing dependence on imported refined products and positioning Ghana as a competitive petroleum refining hub in West Africa.
