  • How much oil does Somalia have?
  • Geo-seismic studies have shown that Somalia may have at least 30 billion barrels of oil and gas reserves, but these resources will take time to develop, as detailed exploration generally takes three to five years, and production can only begin afterward.
  • Is coastline doing oil exploration in Somalia?
  • Coastline, an upstream oil and gas company focused on East Africa, said in a statement on Friday it had paid a $7 million signature bonus to the government and would now proceed with exploration. In 2019, Somalia passed a petroleum sector law paving the way for exploration, especially off its coast.
  • Why is Somalia launching its first offshore licensing round?
  • Somalia is one of the few remaining frontier oil and gas exploration territories and the Somalian federal government is promoting its advancement by launching its first ever offshore licensing round. We look at the latest developments. Since the late 60s, civil unrest has prohibited the exploitation of Somalia¡¯s offshore oil and gas resources.
  • Is Somalia a new frontier for oil & gas exploration?
  • Overall, the country, located in the Horn of Africa and bordered by Kenya and Ethiopia and close to Yemen, is a promising new frontier for oil exploration; it is not without its risks and challenges though. Oil and gas exploration started in Somalia in the 1950/60s, with a total of 70 wells drilled, 80% of which were onshore.
  • Does Mogadishu need an upgrade to support oil exploration offshore Somalia?
  • Mogadishu port will need an upgrade to support oil exploration offshore Somalia. REUTERS/Feisal Omar Somalia will in coming years become an oil producing country and build an industry that will create jobs and support economic growth, Ibrahim Ali Hussein, chairman and CEO of the newly created Somali Petroleum Authority, tells The Africa Report.
  • Why did oil and gas companies leave Somalia?
  • Prior to the conflict and collapse of the government in 1991, international oil and gas majors had exploration agreements in Somalia, but they withdrew from the country because of the civil war. Energy firms like Royal Dutch Shell and ExxonMobil operated in Somalia before the government collapsed in 1991.
