The presentation, available on the Company's website https://wp-afentra-2025.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/media/2026/01/2026.01.-22-AET-Pareto-Energy-Conf-London.pdf, provides an overview of Afentra's near and medium-term growth potential from both offshore and onshore Angola, building on the recently announced 400% increase in 2C contingent resources.
Highlights from the presentation include:
- Overview of Afentra's growth strategy across offshore and onshore Angola, focused on scalable, infrastructure-led development opportunities across its portfolio
- Details of the potential 2026-2027 infill drilling and heavy workover programme across the producing Block 3/05 fields, with planning underway for up to two wells (Impala-2 and Pacassa SW-1) and three workovers in the Palanca field. These activities could together provide:
o Production uplift of up to 12,500 bopd gross (Net: 3,750 bopd)
o Reserves and resources upside exposure of up to 120 mmbbo gross (Net: ~36 mmbbo)
o Capex for the activities is expected to be ~ $115-130million gross (Net: $34-39 million)
- Update on the plans to "fast-track" the operated development of Block 3/24 discoveries, leveraging existing infrastructure, with development studies targeting a Final Investment Decision in Q4 2026
- Outline of Afentra's onshore Kwanza Basin portfolio, including early production opportunities and medium-term exploration upside.
The presentation highlights Afentra's transition into its next phase of production and reserves growth focused on disciplined, value-driven well and development activities, underpinned by a growing pipeline of organic opportunities across its offshore and onshore assets.
