Angola is reinvigorating its hydrocarbon sector with institutional and regulatory reforms along with fiscal incentives that will underpin expansion into new onshore and offshore frontiers. Relative stability, security and an attractive exploration and production investment landscape give Angola the edge over regional peers, while the oil & gas sector still has a major role to play as economic diversification continues. Gas in particular could drive lower-carbon industrialization, electrification and agricultural expansion.

Namibia's vast natural resource endowment has been further enhanced by recent significant offshore oil and gas discoveries in the Orange Sub-basin. As the country embarks on its journey to becoming an energy hub, Namibia has the unique opportunity to learn from others and avoid common pitfalls associated with large-scale hydrocarbon production by integrating oil and gas revenues as just one component of an already diverse economy.
