SECRETARY GENERAL, AFRICAN PETROLEUM PRODUCERS' ORGANIZATION (APPO)
"By developing intra-African energy infrastructure, we can reduce costs, improve energy access, and encourage local refining and petrochemical industries."
FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, TRADINTER AND CHAIRMAN, AECIPA
"Doing business in Angola requires a great deal of imported goods and equipment, which challenges both the companies and the central bank to make foreign currency available. "
"We are committed to becoming a major independent energy producer. This goal drives us to explore new opportunities and monetize the existing gas reserves in the Cabinda South Block."
CEO, SONANGOL REFINING & PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY (SONAREF)
"Sonaref is spearheading three major refining projects: the Cabinda Oil Refinery, the Soyo Refinery, and the Lobito Refinery, which aim to increase our total refining capacity to 425,000 bpd."
"Oil production in Angola has been on a declining trend over the past few years, but our discoveries have bucked this trend with the company’s production increasing by 30% from 2022 to 2024."
"Within a few days, we can transform barren sites into fully equipped facilities, demonstrating our adaptability in supporting Angola's energy sector."
