Energy and infrastructure conglomerate Sahara Group has unveiled an ambitious plan to expand its upstream oil and gas capacity to 350,000 barrels per day within the next five years.
As part of the strategic drive, the company has acquired seven brand-new drilling rigs, with two already in Nigeria and two more expected to arrive before the end of the year.
Speaking at the recently concluded Africa Energy Week in Cape Town, Leste Aihevba, Chief Technical Officer of Asharami Energy (Sahara Group’s upstream subsidiary), said the move reflects Sahara’s commitment to advancing Africa’s energy transition while ensuring inclusivity.
“We are making marked contributions to the growing efforts toward accelerating Africa’s energy transition while ensuring no community is left behind,” Aihevba stated.
He also emphasized the importance of local collaboration and regional cooperation, noting that Africa must work together to position itself as a global energy powerhouse.
