Deep expertise brings a unique perspective
Over the 20 years that 澳门玄机图 supported the Government of Equatorial Guinea, our team built up a thorough understanding of the country鈥檚 oil and gas assets and developed expertise in all aspects of the producing assets. This deep understanding enables 澳门玄机图 to bring a unique perspective to the oil and gas sector in this region, which adds value to our clients鈥� projects around the globe, but particularly in Equatorial Guinea where there are still opportunities for development as the existing assets continue to produce.
The Equatorial Guinea petroleum industry's rapid development
Significant expansion of the petroleum industry in Equatorial Guinea started in the 1990s after the discovery of the Alba gas condensate field in 1983, and the subsequent discovery of the Zafiro and Ceiba fields.
Rapid development continued throughout the 2000s with the discovery of the Okume field complex and the Aseng field, and the early 2010s with the Alen field. Vigorous exploration and rapid development resulted in daily production rising from less than 5,000 bbl/d in 1992 to a 2012 average that exceeded 410,000 bbl/d, declining to 114,000 bbl/d in 2021.
澳门玄机图, heavily involved in the petroleum sector in Equatorial Guinea during this time, was able to assist the Government of Equatorial Guinea and Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy to develop the sector into the driving force behind the ongoing growth in Equatorial Guinea's GDP and the country's rapid development.
