Afentra, a UK-based independent energy company focused on Africa, is actively pursuing six new oil and gas projects in Angola as part of its strategic expansion in the region. This move underscores the company’s confidence in Angola’s upstream sector and its commitment to building a robust portfolio of low-cost, low-carbon assets. Following its successful acquisition of interests in Blocks 3/05 and 3/05A, which have already demonstrated promising production levels, Afentra is now evaluating additional opportunities that align with its long-term vision for sustainable growth and value creation.
Angola’s mature basins, well-established infrastructure, and supportive regulatory environment make it an attractive destination for energy investments. Afentra’s leadership has highlighted the country’s potential to deliver stable returns while contributing to regional energy security. The six projects under consideration are expected to complement the company’s existing operations, allowing it to scale production, optimize resources, and strengthen its presence in one of Africa’s most dynamic oil markets.
This expansion also reflects a broader industry trend, where independent companies are stepping in to acquire and revitalize assets divested by major oil firms. As global energy giants pivot toward renewable energy and carbon reduction strategies, independents like Afentra are seizing the opportunity to extend the productive life of legacy assets. In Angola, this shift is creating new avenues for innovation, investment, and local capacity building, with Afentra positioning itself as a key player in this evolving landscape.
Afentra’s approach emphasizes operational efficiency, environmental responsibility, and strategic partnerships with local stakeholders. The company is committed to aligning its activities with Angola’s national development goals, including job creation, technology transfer, and economic diversification. If successful, the new projects could significantly enhance Angola’s oil output while reinforcing Afentra’s role as a catalyst for growth and transformation in the region’s energy sector. As the company continues its due diligence and engagement with regulatory authorities, its expansion plans signal a bold and forward-looking vision for the future of African oil and gas.
