Africa’s energy sector is beginning to see tangible gains from a maturing collaboration between TGS and Starlink, as advances in satellite connectivity and cloud integration start to reshape how seismic data is handled across the continent. While the integration of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology into seismic workflows has been under development for several…
Major pipeline projects are often framed as engineering milestones. Nigeria’s River Niger crossing of the OB3 gas pipeline, constructed around two kilometres beneath the riverbed using horizontal directional drilling, is no exception. Yet its significance extends well beyond engineering execution. It offers a practical lens into how Africa’s energy systems may evolve: from fragmented, project-based…
According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, the discovery, made in the West Abu Madi concession, has an estimated production potential of 50 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d). Its proximity to existing infrastructure is expected to accelerate time-to-market, with tie-back to nearby facilities achievable within weeks. The well lies less than two…
A fresh €1.1 billion commitment from the European Investment Bank is set to advance renewable energy deployment across Africa, but industry observers caution that the injection represents only a fraction of the capital required to close the continent’s structural electricity gap. According to Tebogo Kupi of the North-West University, the funding is likely to catalyse…
Jet fuel exports from Dangote Refinery are accelerating sharply, signalling a structural shift in global aviation fuel supply and the growing weight of African refining capacity in international markets. Data from Kpler indicates that shipments increased by roughly 770 per cent between April 2024 and April 2026, rising from 18,000 barrels per day (bpd) at…
The African Development Bank Group, in partnership with the Government of Gabon, has concluded the 10th Africa Energy Market Place in Libreville, reinforcing efforts to accelerate investment and reform in Gabon’s power sector. The two-day forum, held on 8–9 April 2026, convened policymakers, financiers and private sector stakeholders to advance delivery under Mission 300—a joint…
Azule Energy has taken a significant step in strengthening its upstream footprint in Namibia with the formal registration of a local branch office and the appointment of Giovanni Aquilina as Country General Manager. The move, announced at the 2026 Namibia International Energy Conference (NIEC) in Windhoek, underscores the company’s long-term strategy in one of Africa’s…
Africa’s power sector faces a widening urgency to convert policy momentum into delivered megawatts, as industry leaders warn that the continent’s energy access deficit remains stubbornly high despite improving investment conditions. At the Energy Access Investment Forum 2026 in Nairobi, convened by the Alliance for Rural Electrification, stakeholders from across the value chain called for…
African power markets are presenting a more disciplined, investment-ready pipeline of renewable projects ahead of the Invest in African Energy Forum in Paris on 22–23 April. Countries including Senegal, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Djibouti, Zambia and Guinea are advancing opportunities across solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower, signalling a shift towards integrated systems and…
More than 50 countries will convene in Santa Marta, Colombia, next week for the first dedicated international conference aimed at coordinating pathways away from fossil fuels, as geopolitical instability in the Middle East continues to unsettle global energy markets. The meeting takes place amid ongoing disruption to oil and gas flows through the Strait of…
