Ghanaian parliament approves licence
Nuevo Energy Co has announced that its Ghanaian subsidiary has received approval from the Ghanaian parliament for its
second petroleum agreement.
"This approval finalises the contract signed in March 1997 between Nuevo Ghana, the Republic of Ghana and Ghana
National Petroleum Corporation for petroleum rights covering in excess of 2.7 mm acres offshore Ghana in the
Accra-Keta prospect area,'' Nuevo said.
Nuevo is operator of the prospect with a 100 % working interest.
The new prospect is 60 miles to the east of Nuevo's 1.7 mm acres awarded in August 1997.
