Oil, Gas & Energy Transition.

Managing Africa's Hydrocarbons for the Transition Ahead

Oil and gas remain central to many African economies, funding public revenues, driving exports and powering growth. The challenge is not choosing between hydrocarbons and the transition, but managing both well in a changing global market.

Tighter ESG mandates, DFIs pulling back from fossil fuel finance, decarbonisation pressure and stranded asset risk are reshaping the sector, and capital will follow those who adapt.

We advise governments, national and international oil companies, investors and developers on managing, monetising and positioning hydrocarbon assets within this evolving landscape.

What We Cover

  • Petroleum Regulatory Frameworks

    Advisory on petroleum regulatory frameworks, host community, upstream fiscal terms, midstream and downstream licensing, and equivalent frameworks across African jurisdictions.

  • Petroleum Value Chain Advisory

    Legal, regulatory, and commercial advisory across the oil and gas value chain, covering upstream contracts (licensing, PSCs, JVs, farm-ins) and midstream gas/LNG export structures and downstream distribution frameworks alongside EPC, long-term service agreements, offtake structures, and project finance documentation.

  • Gas Monetisation & Energy Transition

    Gas monetisation, domestic supply obligations, LNG structuring, flare reduction and commercialisation frameworks across Africa, with gas positioned for transition pathways, climate commitments, investor expectations and stranded asset risk.

  • Regulatory, Compliance & Government Advisory

    Petroleum sector governance, fiscal regime design, regulatory reform, market entry, local content, anti-corruption, environmental, social and governance requirements, and engagement with governments and regulators across African markets.

Other Practice Areas

  • ESG & Sustainability Disclosure

    For African businesses seeking international capital, supply chain access, or DFI partnerships, ESG performance and disclosure are no longer differentiators. They are conditions of entry.

  • Critical Minerals & Industrial Value Chains

    Africa holds a significant share of the world's critical minerals. Whether they build industrial value or leave as raw material depends on governance: licensing, fiscal terms, value-addition rules and industrial policy.

  • Ventures & Innovation

    Africa's energy and climate innovation is not short of ideas or founders. The challenge is turning promising solutions into investable, scalable businesses with the right strategy, governance, commercial model, and regulatory pathway.
