  • 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.
  • Will Exxon & Shell return to Somalia?
  • Exxon and Shell could return to Somalia ahead of an oil bid round that the East African country plans to hold later in 2019, Reuters reported on Friday, citing a statement from Somalia¡¯s oil ministry.
  • When will Somalia start drilling oil?
  • The country hopes that seismic surveys and drilling of exploration wells could begin in 2020-2021. While drafting the details of an oil bid round, Somalia will also have to attend hearings in September 2019 at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague over its maritime dispute with Kenya.
  • How many barrels of crude are there in Somalia?
  • According to 2D seismic conducted by TGS in 2014, there could be 30 billion barrels of crude across 15 blocks initially offered by Somalia's government. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has prompted discussions of energy security in Africa, where electricity access is low.
  • 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.
  • 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.
