1 min read | december 20, 2024
Despite market challenges and fluctuations, Chevron continues to see significant potential across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Energy Intelligence Finance recently highlighted Chevron’s strategy to transition output to gas in the region.
key takeaways
- Chevron is reshaping Angola’s value chain in pursuit of growth potential in the region.
- While many major players are exiting onshore and shallow offshore activities in Nigeria, Chevron remains committed to operating in the area.
- Chevron led the development of the West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP), a 700-kilometer pipeline that supplies gas to Benin, Togo and Ghana and helps to boost economic development in the region. The WAGP supplies approximately 170 million cubic feet per day of Nigerian gas to the region.
- The multi-country pipeline is the only one of its kind in SSA.
