      abstract = {This book explores how Ghana has managed its newfound oil  wealth and utilised the revenues to drive inclusive  economic growth and development after ten years of oil and  gas extraction. This is particularly poignant given that  some of Ghanas neighbours and peers that have been  producing oil and gas for several decades continue to  suffer from the resource curse or paradox of plenty  syndrome. Topics covered in the book include upstream  licensing and contracting, regulatory regimes and  institutional capacity, fiscal regimes, maritime border  delimitation, and national oil company operations. Others  include social inequities and injustice of Ghanas oil and  gas, fiscal policy and revenue administration, local  content, developing gas markets, and the potential impact  of the energy transition. The book is a compilation of  leading work on petroleum resource management practices in  an emerging petroleum-producing country context. Petroleum  Resource Management in Africa provides policymakers,  industry and academia with a comprehensive distillation and  synthesis of the operational context and the lessons  learned from ten years of oil and gas in Ghana. At the same  time, the findings in this book are articulated into a  comprehensive series of core recommendations that serve as  an international reference on Africas upstream oil and gas  industry. It will be of interest to anyone interested in  resource and development economics.
