Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Cany Jobe, Director of Exploration and Production at the Gambia National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) has wooed investors and partners at the recent Sub-Saharan Africa International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, SAIPEC 2025 summit, held in Lagos, Nigeria, saying The Gambia has good prospects for oil and gas exploration and production.<\/b><\/p>\n\u201cWe are looking for partners and investors to drill our wells so that Gambia can as well become the next story in Africa\u2019s oil and gas industry,\u201d she told the meeting, adding that the country\u2019s location around the MSBC basin positions it as an emerging hub spot for oil and gas activities.<\/p>\n
SAIPEC held its 9th edition of the conference in Nigeria last week, organised by the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN), on the topic: Sub-Saharan Africa Local Content Collaboration Strategy.<\/p>\n
Cany Jobe spoke on Panels 2.5 (Governments and Regulators) and 3.2 Diversity, Equality and Inclusion, which were held on the 12th and 13th February, respectively.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have onshore and offshore blocks available as well,\u201d she told the conference that brought together hundreds of participants from sector leaders in government, private sector and regulators under the same roof to discuss the future of the crucial energy sector of the continent.<\/p>\n
She said The Gambia has about eight offshore blocks and two onshore blocks. Our data coverage is about 80 percent offshore and 5 percent onshore,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
According to her, GNPC as a state-owned company that handles the upstream oil and gas operations in The Gambia on behalf of the government, has established partnerships with operators such as PetroNor on Block A4 for technical works.<\/p>\n
She explained that GNPC\u2019s work also includes conducting seismic surveys, exploring hydrocarbon resources, developing discoveries into production, and managing the resulting oil and gas production.<\/p>\n
Cany Jobe went to speak extensively about the Gambia\u2019s oil and gas potential, highlighting the prospects and opportunities for investments.<\/p>\n
She reiterated GNPC\u2019s commitment to streamlining the project approval process, and the government\u2019s political will to support industry players.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have also put in place decarbonisation initiatives for our oil and gas industry,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
