• Ghana’s oil industry has real potential to transform the country. With the right conditions, Ghana’s oil industry, like that of Alberta and Norway can help create jobs, strengthen the domestic private sector, fund public services, and contribute to infrastructural development, which could benefit both present and future generation. This thesis examines the current regulatory framework for managing oil revenue in Alberta, Norway and Ghana by assessing concepts in Alberta and Norway’s regime that could be adopted in Ghana. Emphasis is placed on the tenure granting system and the regime for determining the government’s share of oil revenue. It also examines the regulatory framework for the usage of petroleum revenue.
