Hydrocarbons discovered in carbonate rocks off Ghana's coast
Hydrocarbons have been found in carbonate rock formations during the Nya Gyidie-1X well drilling on the Atlantic off Ghana's coast — a geological formation type that has not previously been a confirmed target for commercial oil and gas exploration in the country. The discovery could significantly expand the areas for future energy resource exploration in Ghanaian waters. The industry assesses it as potentially groundbreaking for the local oil sector.

So carbonate reservoirs are a completely different beast from the sandstone plays Ghana has been drilling into — if this scales up commercially it could genuinely open a new chapter for the basin.
