East Africa is the latest oil & gas frontier and
this fact cannot be underestimated. I have done some quick research on the
companies currently in the Exploration and Production (E&P) scene in the
region and these is what I found (see list below). The list may not be
conclusive because the situation is so fluid with Farm in/Farm out contracts,
mergers & acquisitions continuously happening as I scribble.
The companies come from all over the world
ranging from the large integrated multinational oil companies such as ENI and
Total, to specialist exploration companies such as Tullow, Africa Oil and Anadarko
to mere speculators (mostly local) who acquire exploration block licenses just to
sell out to companies with capacity i.e. money and expertise to explore, albeit
at a profit.
Companies I have definitely left out are the oil
and gas services companies such as Schlumberger, Weatherford, Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Sakson, P.N.Mariot, GID, CPTD(China), Great Wall (China) who I believe
are the main companies offering various services that enable drilling to
happen. These companies operate below the surface and are sub-contractors of
the companies listed below.
If you require more detailed research on these
companies and their activities please contact the blogger?
