RE: OFFSHORE SOUTH-WEST TANO - REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION TO THE


INITIAL EXPLORATION PERIOD


I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated June 20, 2016 requesting for 24 months extension


of the Initial Exploration Period. I note the material impact the ITLOS Provisional Measures


Order on Ghana-Cote d’Ivoire boundaries dispute has had on the Initial Work Programme


under the Offshore South-West Tano Petroleum Agreement.





After carefully considering your request and in light of the constraints you indicated, I hereby


grant an extension of twenty four (24) months to the initial Exploration Period under the


Offshore South-West Tano Petroleum Agreement from October 10, 2016 to October 9, 2018.


It is my expectation that this extension will enable GOSCO representatives successfully
