Ghana Oil Company Limited (GOIL) continues to receive more recognition for excellence in the oil and the gas sector.

At the 4th edition of the Ghana Oil and Gas Awards (GOGA), GOIL was honoured with the award of “Oil Marketing Company of the Year”, while Group Chief Executive and Managing Director of GOIL, Patrick Akorli, was conferred with the “Exemplary Leadership Award for Policy Initiative in the Petroleum Sector”.

For the fourth consecutive year, GOGA has rewarded the best of industry players from the upstream, midstream and downstream to allied and supply chain service providers.

At a glitzy event at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, more than 50 individuals and organisations were rewarded for their contribution to the success of an industry that contributes millions of dollars in foreign exchange and creates thousands of jobs.

The awards ceremony recognises achievements from local and international companies involved in the Ghana oil and gas sector and rewarded those that have played a defining role in moving the industry forward.
