Related commodities
Natural Gas & LNG
Africa's gas story runs through the Rovuma Basin, Nigeria, Egypt and Algeria, and is increasingly evaluated on liquefaction capacity rather than reserves.
Crude Oil
Nigeria, Angola, Libya and Algeria remain the largest African producers, with Namibia the most-watched frontier.
Related countries
Mozambique
Mozambique combines world-scale offshore gas in the Rovuma Basin with graphite, heavy sands, coal and the Mozal aluminium smelter, making it one of Africa's most connected energy-to-industry economies.
Egypt
Egypt combines large offshore gas production, LNG re-export infrastructure and one of the world's largest solar parks at Benban.
Angola
Angola remains a major deepwater producer and, through the Lobito Atlantic Railway concession, is positioning as the Atlantic export route for Central African copper and cobalt.
Nigeria
Nigeria pairs long-established upstream oil and gas with the continent's largest single-train refinery and the NLNG expansion, under a post-Petroleum Industry Act regulatory framework.
