ExxonMobil, is set to underscore its long-term commitment to Africa’s burgeoning energy sector and with specific commitments in Nigeria’s deep water frontiers.

The company will give the highlights at the highly anticipated 2025 African Energy Week (AEW) conference in Cape Town.

Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producer, remains a cornerstone of ExxonMobil’s West African operations.

The company is preparing to commit additional capital to deepwater developments, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the nation’s energy sector. This investment plan is a strategic move to build on existing production from established offshore fields like Erha and Owowo, which have been in operation for several years.

The Erha field, for instance, located in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 120, commenced production in 2006 and has been a significant contributor to Nigeria’s crude oil output. The Owowo field, discovered in 2004, further solidified ExxonMobil’s deepwater footprint in the region.

ExxonMobil’s strategy in Nigeria is multi-pronged: it focuses on optimising output from these mature assets through enhanced oil recovery techniques and operational efficiencies, while simultaneously advancing exploration activities in promising, underexplored offshore blocks.

These efforts are in direct alignment with the Nigerian government’s ambitious target to increase crude oil production and attract much-needed foreign direct investment into its energy sector. Nigeria aims to boost its production capacity and stabilize its oil revenues, which are crucial for national development and economic diversification.

The challenges in Nigeria’s oil sector, including issues around security, regulatory uncertainty, and ageing infrastructure, make sustained investment from major international players like ExxonMobil even more critical. Deepwater projects, while capital-intensive, offer significant long-term potential due to their large reserves and often lower operational risks compared to onshore developments.

The successful execution of these investment plans will be vital for Nigeria to achieve its production goals and maintain its position as a leading global oil supplier.

The African Energy Chamber has confirmed ExxonMobil’s pivotal role in the event, scheduled for later this year under the overarching theme of “Invest in African Energies.” This strategic participation highlights the company’s multi-faceted approach to the continent, combining substantial new upstream investments, major liquefied natural gas (LNG) developments, and critical long-term skills initiatives designed to foster local capacity.

At the conference, ExxonMobil will provide crucial updates on its diverse oil and gas projects spanning West and East Africa, specifically in Nigeria, Angola, and Mozambique.

Beyond its operational portfolio, the company will also spotlight its impactful STEM Africa program, an educational initiative spearheaded by the ExxonMobil Foundation in partnership with Junior Achievement Africa.

This program is meticulously designed to expand technical capacity and cultivate a skilled workforce, addressing a critical need within the continent’s rapidly evolving energy landscape.

The blend of operational delivery and local skills development championed by ExxonMobil exemplifies the strategic partnerships that the African Energy Chamber’s Executive Chairman, NJ Ayuk, believes are essential for the continent’s energy future.
