Angola's oil and gas industry: Africa's Rising Giant

Angola’s oil and gas industry has grown significantly, with the country now one of the top oil producers on the African continent. The sector is governed by the National Oil, Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANPG), which handles handing out concessions and regulating policy related to Angola’s upstream activities. The state-owned enterprise Sonangol and its subsidiaries have been the main driver behind the nation’s E&P activities and have ramped up exploration activities to replace the country’s depleting reserves.

The country is developing its refining capacity, which traditionally only represented around 20% of the country’s consumption. The downstream sector is undergoing a massive transformation, with large developments to increase production of oil refined products underway.

The country, which is a member of OPEC, has repeatedly reformed its policies with a focus on attracting foreign investment to unlock its massive energy potential. “To increase efficiency and strengthen the oil activity, we are implementing several measures in such a way as to create conditions and an environment able to capture new investment that seeks to contribute to the increase of reserves and the production of oil and gas, and consequently bring more value to the Angolan State and to its involved partners,” Angolan Minister of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas Diamantino Pedro Azevedo told The Energy Year.
