Touchstone Capital Partners announces flagship Ghana Oil & Gas Hub project

Touchstone Capital Partners ("TCP") today announced that it is formally advancing its flagship Ghana Oil & Gas Hub project, drawing on the Touchstone ecosystem, proprietary TCP IP, strategic capital partnerships and an integrated project-development platform to support the next generation of Ghana's energy infrastructure.

Following recent announcements by PHDC regarding the Ghana Oil & Gas Hub, Touchstone is working with PHDC to advance the project toward execution and to establish a comprehensive platform spanning upstream, midstream and downstream energy infrastructure. The project is designed to mobilise significant international and domestic capital while maximising the use of Ghana's existing industrial, energy, logistics, infrastructure and human-capital ecosystem.

The proposed programme represents an investment opportunity of approximately $60 billion across multiple phases and energy infrastructure segments, creating a large-scale integrated energy ecosystem rather than a standalone project.

The first phase will focus on upstream oil and gas development, including the infrastructure, production capacity and associated facilities required to establish the foundation for the broader hub.

The midstream phase will include large-scale oil and gas storage, tank farms and terminals, marine and jetty infrastructure, product handling and logistics, pipeline and transportation infrastructure, and export and domestic distribution capabilities.

The downstream phase will cover gas-to-power generation, oil refining and petrochemical production, gas processing, energy and industrial products, and supporting manufacturing and processing infrastructure.

Touchstone's strategic objective is not simply to finance an individual energy project — TCP is building a platform. Upstream production can supply the midstream system; midstream infrastructure can support refining and processing; gas can support power generation; power can support industrial development; and downstream manufacturing can create additional domestic and export value.

The platform will leverage Ghana's existing oil and gas resources and energy infrastructure, ports and marine access, industrial zones, local engineering and construction capabilities, financial institutions and government infrastructure, local workforce and professional services, and existing energy-market demand with regional ECOWAS market access.

For investors, the platform creates potential exposure across multiple complementary infrastructure and energy asset classes rather than relying on a single revenue stream. For strategic industry partners, it provides opportunities to participate across the upstream, midstream and downstream value chain.

Touchstone and its partners will now focus on progressing the project through the next stages of technical development, commercial structuring, government engagement, strategic partnership formation and capital mobilisation. Further announcements are expected as the project reaches key development milestones.
