Support across the full value chain
_______________________________________________________________________________________
In the last decade, Africa’s upstream operations have spread from a historic focus on West Africa to be truly pan-continental. This is being driven by exploration in countries such as Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda where new oil and gas reserves have been discovered. Exploration also continues in Botswana, Namibia, Ivory Coast and beyond.
With the latest iteration of Ivory Coast’s Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act expected to be completed soon and the Integrated Energy Resource Plan nearing completion, Ivory Coast is set to leverage its largely unexplored and underdeveloped oil and gas sector to re-ignite growth able to drive broad and inclusive participation across the entire economy.
