Global Upstream Scouting | Sub-Saharan Africa | Sonangol Appraises Katambi, Nigeria Deepwater Incentives, Apex Global Takes Eni Stake, ST&P Approvals and Denials
SSA Regional Manager Jimmy Boulter, Senior Regional Analyst Archie Rowland, and host Patrick Rutty discuss Sonangol’s success at Katambi 2 and speculate about the discovery’s path to commercialization. They then note Eni having found an indigenous suitor for its 5% stake in 18 Renaissance Energy-operated Nigeria blocks before summarizing Nigeria’s new deepwater investment framework and having a think about how much activity – and which projects – it will truly incentivize. Finally, they wrap up with a wild card entry: recent Sao Tome & Principe asset activity.
