Kevin Okyere was born in Ghana, in 1980. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Okyere, raised him, but the media has no information on any siblings he may have had. Okyere finished high school in Ghana and later studied accounting at George Mason University in Virginia, United States.

Career

Kevin’s firm, Springfield, received the block, known as West Cape Three Points Block 2, from Ghana’s government in 2016 after Kosmos relinquished it. In addition, the corporation leads in the shipment of refined goods to landlocked surrounding nations, such as Mali and Burkina Faso, as well as Nigerian crude.

In 2019, Springfield Exploration and Production Limited (SEP) became Ghana’s first indigenous business to drill in the deep sea. The company signed a contract with Stena Unicon Offshore Services Ghana Ltd, a subsidiary of Stena Drilling, to use the Stena Forth Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) for exploration in West Cape Three Points Block 2 (WCTP Block 2).

At the time, Reuters reported that the Ghanaian government was facing setbacks due to challenges in offshore petroleum extraction, and that Okyere’s company’s finding of approximately 1.5 billion barrels of offshore oil was a possible game changer. Five years later, drilling began at the Oak-1x and Afina-1x wells, marking an important milestone in Ghana’s oil and gas industry.
