Our reach

West Africa first, Africa next, and the world as our customers.

We are not tied to any one country. Our customers are worldwide, and our focus is West Africa and Africa, where demand is growing fastest. West Africa's population is projected to reach about 735 million by 2050 and Africa's about 2.4 billion, while OPEC expects world Oil demand to rise to about 113 million barrels a day by 2030 and 123 million by 2050. From our hubs in the Gulf, Nigeria, Niger, Ghana and Togo we supply buyers wherever the demand is, and we plan to expand across Africa.

Our vision

The most dynamic energy Group, present across Africa and worldwide, built on technology and data.

We want to be the most dynamic energy Group, creating enduring value across generations. And we want to be the most advanced downstream company in the industry: technology-driven, data-driven, and a believer in what AI can do in energy.

  1. 01

    Enduring value

    To deliver what the world depends on, through innovation and operational excellence, for customers, partners and communities.

  2. 02

    The full value chain

    We want to hold the full downstream value chain, from vessel to pump to last mile, and to be present across downstream, midstream and upstream.

  3. 03

    More than a trading house

    We are not just a trading house. Our focus is on owning assets across the Oil and Gas sector in Africa and wherever we operate, including storage tanks, stations and Gas infrastructure, and also in agriculture.

  4. 04

    Across Africa and worldwide

    We want to be present across Africa and in markets around the world, carrying the same standard of supply, technology and service into every new country.

Nigeria

200

In Nigeria we aim for up to 200 MEA stations within three years: data-driven forecourts, supplied by our own fleet.

Niger

50+

In Niger we want to own storage tanks across the country and to have more than 50 stations.
