Will oil drilling resume after Ghana wins territory dispute?

A decade long dispute between Ghana and Ivory Coast over control of an offshore region, which is rich in oil, has been settled in favour of Ghana.

The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea has drawn an ocean boundary that gives Ghana most of the disputed territory.

Tullow Oil first pumped crude from Ghana's Jubilee Oil Field in 2010. George Cazenove from Tullow has been telling the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Russell Padmore the ruling gives the company a green light to develop the TEN project.
