Angola Plans to Grant 60 Oil and Gas Blocks by 2025 to Boost Production Above One Million Barrels Per Day
Angola is on track to award 60 oil and gas concessions by the end of 2025, driven by its multi-year licensing rounds and direct negotiation program. This move represents a significant step in Angola’s strategy to maintain production above one million barrels per day.
At the African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies 2025, Alcides Andrade, Executive Administrator of the National Oil, Gas & Biofuels Agency (ANPG), confirmed that Angola has already surpassed its initial target of awarding 50 blocks through licensing rounds and direct negotiations.
“Since 2024, we have awarded more than 20 blocks, bringing the total to over 50 awarded blocks. We now see the potential to grant up to 60 concessions by the end of this year.
This progress reflects the success of our licensing rounds and direct negotiation process,” Andrade stated.
This accelerated awarding of blocks underscores Angola’s commitment to strengthening its oil and gas sector, attracting investment, and sustaining long-term production growth.
