Africa Oil Corp., an exploration and production company, is engaged in the oil and gas industry across several regions including Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. With its subsidiaries, the company focuses on both the exploration and production (E&P) sectors. Initially known as Canmex Minerals Corporation, it underwent a name change to Africa Oil Corp. in August 2007. The company's inception dates back to 1983, and its operations are strategically managed from its headquarters in Vancouver, Canada. Africa Oil Corp. has solidified its presence in the oil and gas sector by holding interests in a mix of producing, development, and exploration assets across various geographies, including deep-water Nigeria and Kenya for development and production, as well as in the exploration arenas of Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Guyana, and the Senegal Guinea Bissau Joint Development Zone.
Africa Oil Corp.'s portfolio includes interests in oil and gas assets that are currently in the production stage or under development in deep-water Nigeria and Kenya. These assets are crucial in bolstering the company's production capabilities and reserve base, providing a stable flow of revenue and facilitating growth in these regions.
The company actively pursues exploration and appraisal opportunities across Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya. Additionally, it explores regions such as Guyana and the Senegal Guinea Bissau Joint Development Zone, searching for new hydrocarbon deposits. This diversified geographical presence in exploration activities reflects Africa Oil Corp.'s strategic approach to risk management and its commitment to expanding its resource base beyond its existing holdings.
