The Angola Oil & Gas (AOG) conference – taking place on September 3-4 in Luanda – will once again host a pre-conference program, featuring technical workshops and presentations that offer strategic insights into the country’s oil and gas landscape. The pre-conference, which precedes the main event on September 2, is designed to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in Angola’s oil and gas sector, from oil field maintenance to capital raising, seismic data, investment structures and distribution.
As the largest event of its kind in the country, AOG 2025 – running under the theme Angola 50 Years: Oil and Gas as Development Engine – brings together global investors, government representatives and technology leaders for two days of dialogue and negotiations. The pre-conference builds on this legacy by creating a targeted space for data-driven discussions and engineering insights, bringing together key voices from across the oil and gas value chain.
AOG is the largest oil and gas event in Angola. Held with the full support of the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas; the National Agency for Oil, Gas and Biofuels; the Petroleum Products Regulatory Institute; national oil company Sonangol; and the African Energy Chamber; the event is a platform for deal-making and advancing Angola’s oil and gas industry.

With a $60 billion investment pipeline planned for the next five years, Angola offers lucrative opportunities to a diverse range of oil and gas companies. Upstream, the country is expected to launch its 2025 licensing round, offering ten blocks for exploration in the Kwanza and Benguela basins. Meanwhile, the country is promoting investments in frontier basins such as Etosha-Okavango, the onshore Kwanza basin and Namibe, offering blocks through direct negotiation, as well as marginal field opportunities. Major projects are also advancing, including the $6 billion Kaminho deepwater development, led by TotalEnergies; the Agogo Integrated West Hub Development, led by Azule Energy; and the Quiluma and Maboqueiro fields, led by the New Gas Consortium. With this growth, the country seeks to maintain oil production above one million barrels per day (bpd), but much more capital is needed to support production.
Downstream, Angola has established clear ambitions to expand refining capacity, with more than 400,000 bpd in refining projects planned for the coming years. The first phase of the Cabinda refinery is expected to come online in 2025, bringing 60,000 bpd into operation, while Angola seeks to obtain $4.8 billion to bridge the financing gap for the Lobito refinery. The country is also striving to increase natural gas’s share in the energy matrix through rapid LPG adoption. Downstream infrastructure investments not only support the broader objectives of Angola’s industry, but also align with regional goals of promoting fuel security through African-led projects.
In this context, the AOG 2025 pre-conference offers an exclusive, content-rich platform tailored to the technical and financial pillars of Angola’s hydrocarbon industry. The sessions are designed to equip participants with the practical knowledge and insights needed to make informed investment and operational decisions in Angola’s rapidly evolving oil and gas landscape. In a sector where knowledge translates into competitive advantage, the AOG 2025 pre-conference represents a strategic tool for engaging with industry leaders and gaining insights into oil and gas trends in Angola.
