Assala Gabon

Assala Gabon is a subsidiary of Assala Energy and one of Gabon’s largest oil producers. With its six onshore licences, Assala produces around 45,000 bopd. Four of its six production licences were renewed in 2019 for 25 years, and it also has three exploration licences for new development opportunities.
