Angola produced 1.3 million barrels of oil per day in 2020, the lowest level in the last decade. For comparison, in 2010, production reached a peak of around 1.8 million barrels daily. Though the African country still hast vast oil reserves, there is a lack of private and public investment.
How can Angola recover its oil production?
Angola is among Africa’s largest oil producers. Its current challenge is how to reverse the decline in oil production observed in the last decade. To recover oil output also means getting the economy back on track, as the country’s finances rely strongly on this resource. Around one third of Angola’s GDP is rooted in the oil industry.
How can Angola boost the oil industry?
Moreover, the Angolan parliament has recently approved new tax incentives to boost the oil industry in the country. Besides the stimulus to increase exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, Angola also developed a strategy to support the domestic oil refining sector.
Does Angola have a refining capacity?
Status: In August last year, the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Petroleum launched an international public tender for the construction of a privately-owned oil refinery in Soyo. With current production meeting less than one-third of domestic oil consumption, Angola’s refining capacity remains severely underserved.
