The Petroleum Commission is a Ghanaian state agency under the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum responsible for the regulation, management and coordination of all activities in the upstream petroleum industry for the benefit and welfare of Ghanaians.[1] The commission was established in 2011 as an independent regulator in the petroleum sector of Ghana.[2]
The commission was established in 2011 by an Act of Parliament (Act 821) in consequence of hydrocarbons discovered in commercial quantities. The purpose of the act was for the regulation and management of the utilization of petroleum resources and also to coordinate the policies in the upstream petroleum sector.[1][3][4]
