UAE Expands Oil and Gas Investments in Africa

 

The United Arab Emirates continues to increase its investments in Africa’s oil and gas sector, targeting high-potential regions such as Mozambique’s Rovuma Basin. This expansion emphasizes long-term collaboration in upstream exploration and LNG production.

 

UAE investment includes partnerships to develop offshore gas fields, strengthen export infrastructure, and deploy advanced energy technologies. These investments support both the UAE’s diversification goals and Africa’s energy development.

 

Beyond financial investment, UAE companies are providing technical expertise, operational support, and training programs to local teams, enhancing knowledge transfer and capacity building.

 

These strategic partnerships are expected to expand LNG production and downstream processing, creating opportunities for regional energy trade and boosting Africa’s role in global markets.

 

The initiative demonstrates Africa’s attractiveness for diversified investors and highlights the importance of cross-continental cooperation in building sustainable energy infrastructure.
