Significant opportunities in Angola

There is significant opportunity for South African companies looking for growth in the oil and gas sector in Angola. This as South Africa positions itself as the preferred trade and investment partner for the Angolan government through several commercial

engagements in key economic sectors. Capitalising on the growing synergy between the two countries, the South African Oil & Gas Alliance (SAOGA) is encouraging South African oil and gas companies to explore opportunities in the Angola market.

“SAOGA sees positive oil and gas opportunities in South Africa, Angola and Mozambique. As a result, we aim to take members directly to Angola to understand the opportunities on the ground and meet local project owners. There is an obvious synergy that exists between our

members and the capacity and needs of the region, and SAOGA seeks to capitalise on that synergy,” said Niall Kramer, CEO of SAOGA. Angola remains a strategic and significant trading partner to South Africa, as South Africa currently pursues an investment-led trade approach

that aims to position the country as the preferred trade and investment partner to the Angolan energy industry. The government of Angola has also recognised the synergy and created visa-free travel for South African nationals to foster intra-African cooperation.
