Alfort Petroleum expects to contribute a 10 percent contribution to the increase in Angola’s oil production, estimated at 1.2 million barrels of oil/day, a strategy adopted after the company recently won the contract for the block 8, in the onshore Cuanza Basin.
Speaking to Jornal de Angola, the director general of Alfort Petroleum, Carlos Pallete, said that the ambition of the Angolan oil company is to position itself among the major operators in the oil sector in Angola, and to actively participate in the development and growth of the national economy. .
According to Carlos Pallete, in a first phase, geophysical and geological field studies will be carried out, in block 8, of the Cuanza Basin, to determine the real oil production capacities.

Carlos Pallete pointed out that the main expectation of the oil company is to contribute to the increase in oil production in the Angolan Onshore. “We are anxious to start with the geophysical and geological studies. But, before we talk about exploration and production, there is a process that must be fulfilled, because, first, we must see the area where the block is. In fact, the idea is to remove the people who live close to the area to be explored, giving them houses, as well as the construction of medical centres, schools and access roads so that they can be in a more comfortable environment”, he said.
