African Energy Week
The 2025 edition of the African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African energies comes at a critical moment at which the US again under President Trump strategic ties and relationship with important African markets, which Washington sees critically in protecting its hydrocarbon, LNG and critical mineral needs.
Africa is currently evolving to a new border that attracts Vruiters from China, Brazil, the UK, the European Union and Russia, which appeals to the same attention to policy leaders and American power brokers.

According to the statistics of the African Energiekamer, ExxonMobil maximizes production when producing fields through projects such as the Erha and Owowo fields in Nigeria and the Kizomba Deep Water Development in Angola’s Block 15.
ExxonMobil implements projects such as the Rovuma LNG development in Mozambique on the gas front, aimed at 18 million tonnes per year. The company plans to make a final investment decision in 2026.
Oil and gas exploration
In the meantime, Chevron stimulates oil and gas survey in West and South Africa through projects in Nigeria’s Niger Delta, the offshore blocks of Equatorial Guinea EG-06 and EC-11 and the Basin van Namibia whale.
The company has also expanded the gas production capacity in Angola via the Sanha Lean Gas Connection Project and the coming new gas consortium project.
Moreover, the conocophillips established in Houston is aimed at realizing an output level of between 600,000 barrels per day (BPD) and 700,000 BPD at the Waha concession in the Sirte Basin in Libya. The company gives priority to collaborations, work programs and pipeline integrity at the concession, which currently produces 375,000 BPD.
Another energy giant in Houston, Vaalco Energy, modernizes the FPSO infrastructure in Africa to support production growth. The company is currently active in Ivory Coast and Gabon, where it is planning a drilling campaign in 2026 and 2025 respectively.
In Egypt, Vaalco Energy brought five wells online in 2025, while in Equatorial Guinea focuses on first oil on block P in 2026.
The American service providers also strengthen their presence on the African market. The African footprint of Baker Hughes includes markets such as Nigeria and Namibia, where the Oil Field Services of World Class and Programs offers skills.
