Through a combination of sector expertise, technical proficiency and market insight, the AEC enables clients to capture value, manage risk and achieve sustainable growth in complex energy markets
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, June 12, 2025/APO Group/ --
The African Energy Chamber (AEC) (EnergyChamber.org) – representing the voice of the African energy sector – has launched specialized Advisory Services to support the development of the African energy sector. Aligned with the organizations broader mandate to improve the landscape of the African energy sector and support a results-focused business environment for companies operating across the market, these services are tailored to the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors, supporting clients through the full project lifecycle.
African Energy Chamber (AEC) Launches Specialized Advisory Services to Support African Energy Investments
Building on the AEC’s extensive African and international footprint, the Advisory Services will support business transactions, foreign investments and Merger & Acquisitions (M&A) in Africa, and are geared towards alleviating energy poverty by unlocking greater value from the continent’s resources. AEC capabilities in this regard include comprehensive project planning and execution support; investment-grade feasibility studies and financial modeling; and stakeholder alignment and communication strategies. The AEC also offers services related to the application of industry-leading practices to optimize returns and drive growth as well as advisory on regulatory compliance, market entry and risk mitigation. These services will not only enable clients to invest strategically across key markets in Africa, but maximize their returns on investment, boosting profitability and continental expansion.
Beyond Advisory Services, the AEC also offers specialized expertise in identifying and executing high-value investment opportunities across Africa’s petroleum value chain. Leveraging its international footprint, expertise in strategic markets across Africa and strong public and private sector ties, the organization is committed to supporting mutually-beneficial investments in Africa. The AEC’s key capabilities in this area include origination and advisory of upstream, midstream and downstream investments; pre-feasibility studies, contractor representation and project structuring; technical services, including engineering, maintenance and material sourcing; and strategic planning and operational guidance to maximize investment performance. These services not only provide international financiers and project developers with the tools they need to succeed in Africa but underscore the role the AEC plays as the partner of choice for energy stakeholders seeking growth opportunities across the continent.
These services come as Africa’s energy industry is on the precipice of witnessing significant growth, as international operators expand their portfolios, regional players increase their investments and petroleum demand continues to grow across the continent. The AEC’s State of African Energy 2025 Outlook Report shows that investment remains strong in 2025, with total capital expenditure estimated at $43 billion. By 2030, investment is expected to increase to $54 billion, highlighting the continent’s attractiveness as an energy investment destination. In tandem, African M&A activity has shown robust growth, rising 73% in Q1, 2024 compared to 2023 levels. This was largely attributed to growing interest by Asian and Middle Eastern national oil companies (NOC) in Africa as well as regional expansion by African NOCs.
Looking ahead, M&A activity is expected to continue to grow as companies seek new opportunities in both established and frontier markets. In response, African countries are offering greater investment opportunities. In North Africa, these include upcoming bid rounds in Libya (22 blocks), Egypt (12 blocks) and Algeria (6 blocks). In East and Southern Africa, these include Angola (10 blocks) and Tanzania (24 blocks), while South Africa is expected to open offshore and onshore acreage. Mauritania is also preparing to launch a 15-block licensing round while Nigeria and Liberia have both launched bid rounds in 2024. As market opportunities continue to open up, countries are also reforming their regulatory and fiscal policies, seeking to entice investment through competitive terms. Given the complexity of oil and gas transactions, understanding these changes as well as the respective regulatory climates of African countries become imperative. The AEC – through its range of investment and advisory services – represents a strong partner for companies seeking to invest and sign deals in Africa.
“The AEC has set a strong mandate to make energy poverty history in Africa, and to do this, the organization has committed to working closely with African governments, international operators and financiers. Through a combination of sector expertise, technical proficiency and market insight, the AEC enables clients to capture value, manage risk and achieve sustainable growth in complex energy markets,” states NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the AEC.

Brother Goth cut down on this 'His Excellecy;' and Honorble' thing you preface your news items with. No one uses them anymore. Just plain Somaliland Vice Mr Abdirahman Saylici met with …should do. This should apply to all politicians including the President
Good for development, job creation and good for recognition for Somaliland sovereignty. Anyone against is an enemy of Somaliland. Thanks to the Kulmiye government and specially the president and the Minister for foreign affairs yet for another mission accomplished.
Good for Somaliland indeed. Hope one of these projects is actually implemented. I bet moronic Berberawis wil demonstrate against this too. Fu7nny how they never demonstrated when Siyad Barre gave the Port to Russi and the mountains to North Korea. Not a beep.
Now they are all mouth.
Isaq waa gun guntuna isma indha buuxiso. Wisest words I ever heard.
kabocalaf
Dadka xaal sii. Reer Berbera hady gun yihiin, dadkoo dhami gun maaha.
Certainly, Berbera reversed to medieval era because of Ibhrahim-Dhegaweyne and his cohorts. I still remember the old days when Berbera was the only civilized city in Somaliland where all nationalities and tribes live together happily without tribalism and racism.
Haa Isaaq oo dhan ayaa gun ah. Guntu isma indha buuxiso oo wey isu urtaa sida orgida markaasay geesaha is dartaa. Markay Xayawaan kale arkaan xataa bisad jaanta ayey ka rogtaa!
Car mid reer Berbera ahi haka jawabo su'aashan: Markii Siyad Barre ina haystay ee uu Dekedda Berbera siiyay Ruushanka immisa reer Berbera ahbaa mudaaharaaday? Markuu sibidhka siiyay North Korea imisaa dhagax tuuray?
Ma arkeen(ma aha Reer Berbera oo keliya, ceebta weynnu wad leenahay) mid inaadeerkood ah oo Isaq ah markaasay giir iska wada kicinyaan oo dhbi lisanayaan.
War gun beynnu nahaee aan iska aqblanoo u yeedhano cid shisheeya ah oo ina xukunta kuwaasaynnu qiimeynne.
Waxa laguu sheegayaa reer Berbera qof buka ceeb ayay ku noqonaysaa in ay la tirsadaan. Ta kale sare laguula hadal oo hoos laguula hadal. Mayaadan dhego lahayn. Waxa lagu yidhi qof daciifa oo laga adkaaday ayuunbaa ku dul wareega qabyaalada. Sidee wax kaa yihiin ma biyo ajoobay mise biyo calcelis ah baa lagugu canqariyay. Reer Berbera xaqooday ka dhacsanayaan dawlada baa lagu yidhi sidii reer Caynaba ay xaqooda u dhacsadeen ee dagaalka ka rideen. Markaa raali ahaw lagula tirsan maayee.
Isaq waa gun waa gun, gun aan adiga ahayn kuma aragno halkan imika. Haddii aad ujeedo kale leedahay iska cadayso waa raganimo eh. Habeen wanaagsan.
Kabocalaf iyo Gulaidba waa isku hal qof oo magacyada badsanaya. Waxaan ku leeyahay kabocalafow waxxba kumaad hadlin hadaanu reer berbera nahayna xaal kaama doonayno sababto ah waxaad na tustay inaad caqli kugu filan aadan lahayn. Shimbiraha lalaayee ku dabaasha laydhaa ee laaleys baa ku dhaama.
Sharikadan la sheegayona hadii dani noogu jirtona waanu soo dhoweyn hadii kalena jidaafaha ayaanu u laabi. Siilaanyona waxba kama qaban karo sidii wershedii sibidhka.
Ta kale xasuuso 25% oo ah block 6 (oodweyne) inaad siiseen Ibrahim oo HJ ah. Intaydin siiseen reer yoonisna oo ah block 13 way soo bixi. Markaas inaanu foojigaanu oonu xaqayaga dhacsano waa nagu waajib.
Dhegihii baad iga gufaysaye aan kaa raaxaysto oo dhegaysto laaleeys ee hawada iiga baxa.
Siilaany, Siilaanyo. Siilaanyo has put on hold all efforts to seek political recognition from the world community. He even refused the valuable advice of some members of the European parliament who wisely advised him back in 2011 nt to limit efforts for the deplomatic recognition with only talks with the shakey weak and failed state of Somalia; but to adopt a dual truck foreign policy by fiercely engaging the international community for that politcal recognition in parallel line with opening talks with Somalia for the sam purpose. He blocked all efforts to restore the re-recognition of the statehood for the sake of filling his pockets and enriching himself and his family members at the very cost of the political recognition for our nation. The country under Siilaanyo the triator is in total collapse. Half of the country on the eastern regions is occupied by faqash remnats milita. Buuhoodle and Taleeh are no go area, talks with Somalia will never result in the two state solution, and every thing is at shambles. It is time to save the country from Siilaanyo.
I am afraid you are right Baaruud, unfortunately.
Here is proof of Siilaanyo's indecisiveness and weaknesses. Fiqi Fuliye community are pleading with him to honor the agreements that were signed in that famous public announcement made few months ago. Watch and see their pleas for yourself.
Tape starts in the middle. Rewind it to start from the beginning.
I do not know where all these hatred and crap chauvinistic triblism is coming. I live in Somaliland and specially in Berbera and we live in peace and prosperity. Had there been a problem we would have been the first to notice. Please do not believe what the politicians tell you, they are just competing to win seats and do not consider the consequences of their empty speeches. Let them not waste your time and each of you must try to participate in the development of your country and not destroying it.
You can criticize both the government and the opposition respectfully and be truthful in your accusation. Insults and counter insults have no place in our religion and not in our Somaliland culture. Berbera is for all and Saraar too.
Generalizations and stereotyping are the signs of ignorance. Smart people rebuttal ideas and do not hide behind a clan or attack a clan. Because someone from a certain clan has made a statement you don't like, it does not give you the license to attack a whole population. The mentally challenged ones are those who will most likely choose to attack people on tribal bases. Clannish attack is nothing more than shouting for help, because you feel helpless and defeated.
If you chose to blind fold yourself and selectively see only the clan of your opponent then you are a loser and deserve no public response.
Isaaq is Isaaq after all we have been thru and all the enemies sharpening knives for our necks do we really have time to be against each other? Calm yourselves down and think, when Somaliland prospers everyone prospers so solve your problems like brothers and quit this sub clan bs or we will end up like Hawiye tore up from the floor up
