About African Oil & Gas News

Latest news on African oil and gas sector, covering petroleum exploration, LNG projects, major discoveries, energy investments, and developments across the continent.

Africa's oil and gas industry represents a crucial component of the global energy landscape, with Nigeria, Angola, Libya, and Algeria leading production. The continent holds approximately 125 billion barrels of proven oil reserves and 620 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, attracting significant investment from major international energy companies and national oil corporations.

Recent developments showcase the sector's dynamic evolution, with major LNG projects advancing in Mozambique and Tanzania, while new discoveries in Namibia's Orange Basin have sparked fresh exploration interest. Countries like Uganda are progressing towards first oil production, with the East African Crude Oil Pipeline project marking a significant milestone in regional energy infrastructure. The industry faces ongoing challenges in security, infrastructure development, and adapting to global energy transition pressures.

Beyond traditional resource extraction, African nations are increasingly focusing on local content development and value addition in the hydrocarbon sector. Countries like Nigeria are expanding their refining capacity through projects like the Dangote Refinery, while Ghana and Senegal are developing frameworks to maximise economic benefits from their emerging oil and gas sectors. These initiatives aim to create jobs, build technical expertise, and strengthen domestic energy security.

The African oil and gas sector's history traces back to the 1950s, with early discoveries in North Africa and Nigeria shaping the continent's economic landscape. Today, as Africa seeks to balance energy development with environmental commitments, the industry stands at a crucial junction between maximising hydrocarbon resources and embracing renewable energy transitions.

Our NewsNow feed delivers essential updates on African oil and gas developments, from exploration successes to policy changes and investment opportunities. Whether tracking major project milestones, following regulatory developments, or monitoring industry trends, our comprehensive coverage keeps you informed about this vital sector's evolution across Africa.
