As the biggest event of its kind in the country, AOG 2025 - taking place under the theme Angola 50 Years: Oil and Gas as a Development Driver - unites global investors, government representatives and technology leaders for two days of dialogue and dealmaking. The pre-conference builds on this legacy by creating a focused space for data-driven discussions and engineering-led insights, bringing together leading voices from across the oil and gas value chain.

AOG is the largest oil and gas event in Angola. Taking place with the full support of the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas; the National Oil, Gas and Biofuels Agency; the Petroleum Derivatives Regulatory Institute; national oil company Sonangol; and the African Energy Chamber; the event is a platform to sign deals and advance Angola’s oil and gas industry.

With a $60 billion investment pipeline planned for the next five years, Angola offers lucrative opportunities for a diverse state of oil and gas companies. Upstream, the country is expected to launch its 2025 licensing round, offering ten blocks for exploration in the Kwanza and Benguela basins. In tandem, the country is promoting investments in frontier basins such as Etosha-Okavango, the onshore Kwanza basin and Namibe, offering blocks via direct negotiation as well as marginal fields opportunities. Major projects are also advancing, including the $6 billion Kaminho deepwater development led by TotalEnergies; the Agogo Integrated West Hub Development led by Azule Energy; and the Quiluma and Maboqueiro fields led by the New Gas Consortium. With this growth, the country seeks to sustain oil production above one million barrels per day (bpd), but much more capital is required to support output.

Downstream, Angola has set clear ambitions to expand refining capacity, with over 400,000 bpd in refining projects planned in the coming years. The first phase of the Cabinda refinery is on track for operations in 2025, bringing 60,000 bpd online, while Angola is seeking $4.8 billion to bridge the financing gap for the planned Lobito Refinery. The country also strives to increase the share of natural gas in the energy matrix through the rapid uptake of LPG. Investments in downstream infrastructure not only support Angola’s broader industry goals but align with regional objectives to advance fuel security through African-led projects.

Stepping into this picture, the AOG 2025 pre-conference offers an exclusive, content-rich platform tailored to the technical and financial cornerstones of Angola’s hydrocarbon industry. Sessions are engineered to equip participants with the practical knowledge and foresight necessary to make informed investment and operational decisions in Angola’s fast-evolving oil and gas landscape. In a sector where knowledge translates into competitive advantage, the AOG 2025 pre-conference represents a strategic tool for engaging with industry leaders and gaining insight into Angola’s oil and gas trends.
