Hydrocarbon Engine

In the same vein, it is important to stress that the Hydrocarbons Engine contemplates three (3) fundamental elements for the growth of the oil sector, such as production, supply and export, as the perfect formula for increasing energy in the country.

Therefore, on January 29, the Partial Reform of the Organic Hydrocarbons Law was unanimously approved in the National Assembly (AN), which adapts to a new global energy context and promotes investment by prioritizing domestic production.

In this context, this Wednesday, February 25, the President in Charge held a meeting with senior representatives of the African Energy Chamber (AEC), with the purpose of strengthening energy alliances that add to the strengthening of the oil and gas sector.
