Oil Giant Exxon Mobil is set to begin oil exploration in Ghana soon officials in the West African country have confirmed.

A petroleum agreement to pave way for the exploration is expected to be signed by the firm with the Ghanaian government and the Ghana National Petroleum Commission in Ghana in the coming days.

It is an industry-leading inventory of resources and is one of the world’s largest integrated refiners, marketers of petroleum products and chemical manufacturers.
