Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Supreme Court has dismissed an application filed by Operator of Ghana\u2019s Sankofa oil field, ENI Ghana Limited and its partner Vitol Upstream Ghana Limited to quash the payment of 30 per cent of revenue from the sale of crude oil as ordered by the High Court.<\/p>\n

An Accra High Court (Commercial Division) on January 24, 2022, ordered ENI Ghana Limited and its partner Vitol Upstream Ghana Limited to pay 30 per cent of revenue from the sale of crude oil to the Court Registrar.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court said the application was unmeritorious and that the order made on January 26, 2022, was beneficial to both parties and still holds.<\/p>\n

The Court, therefore, awarded GH\u20b510,000 cost against ENI\/Vitol.<\/p>\n

The payment, which is estimated to be about US$40million monthly, commences from June 25, 2021, the date of the original ruling and continues every month afterwards until the substantive matter is determined.<\/p>\n

Upon receipt of the payment, the Registrar will then pay the same into an escrow account and furnish the Court and the parties with records of payment.<\/p>\n

The Court presided over by Justice Mariama Sammo made the order Monday, January 24, 2022, following an application by Springfield Exploration and Production Limited, Operators of the West Cape Three Points (WCTP) Block 2 for the Court\u2019s clear interpretation of its earlier ruling.<\/p>\n

Springfield\u2019s application was precipitated by ENI and Vitol\u2019s failure to comply with the Court\u2019s ruling of June 25, 2021.<\/p>\n

On June 25, 2021, the Court ruled in favour of Springfield Exploration and Production Limited\u2019s application to freeze revenues received by Eni and Vitol from the sale of crude oil from the Sankofa field pending determination of their substantive case filed in July 2020.<\/p>\n

The companies have been in dispute since an April 2020 directive was issued by the Ministry of Energy to unitize the Afina and Sankofa fields to ensure optimal recovery of the resources in the common reservoir in the interest of all the parties involved, including the State.<\/p>\n
