\n is currently the Operator and Majority Interest Holder (84%) of WCTP
\nBlock 2, with GNPC and its exploration company, EXPLORCO, holding the
\nremaining interest. <\/p>\n

\ncompany of Ghana, GNPC is proud of this feat, chalked in this
\nall-Ghanaian partnership. This achievement fits into GNPC\u2019s strategic
\npillars of: \u2018replacing and growing reserves\u2019 as well as \u2018enhancing
