  • Which oil companies are exploring in Somalia?
  • International oil companies including Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil and Shell began exploring in Somalia in the 1950s but bolted when the country erupted in civil war in 1991. Today, though, Houston-based Coastline Exploration is leading a renewed charge, having acquired seven offshore blocks from Somalia's federal government in 2022.
  • 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.
  • Did Somalia import energy?
  • Somalia did not import energy. Energy sources, particularly fossil fuels, are often transformed into more useful or practical forms before being used. For example, crude oil is refined into many different kinds of fuels and products, while coal, oil and natural gas can be burned to generate electricity and heat.
  • 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.
  • What if a contractor makes oil & gas discovery in Somalia?
  • If the Contractor makes oil and gas discovery, it should inform the Somali Petroleum Authority and submit a Development Program for exploration to start. The production period would be typically 25 years with the possibility of extension for 10 years. It should also prepare Production Work Program and budget annually
  • What is the Somali Petroleum Authority & how does it work?
  • In 2020, the government passed a petroleum law under which the Somali Petroleum Authority was established to regulate the industry and guide deals with international contractors. Licensing rounds have the potential to generate much greater revenue for Somalia and its regions.
