Last update: 25 minutes agoOil & Gas Deal: Kosmos Energy has completed its sale of its non-operating interests in Block G offshore Equatorial Guinea to Panoro Energy, with a final cash payment of about $127m (plus potential contingent payments up to ~$40m) as Panoro boosts its stake in producing assets like the Ceiba Field and Okume Complex. Exploration Timeline: Europa Oil & Gas extended the farm-out completion deadline for its EG-08 offshore Equatorial Guinea stake to July 31, 2026, pending final regulatory approval in China, while preparations continue for the Barracuda-1 well expected to spud in early 2027. Government & Delivery: Equatorial Guinea’s entire government resigned after reportedly hitting barely 10% of its development targets, with the ruling party citing corruption, misuse of state resources, and weak economic diversification—especially in agriculture. Forestry Skills Funding: AFD and RIFFEAC signed €5m (about CFA 3.3bn) for ADEFAC 2, a five-year program expanding continuing training in forestry and wood-processing across Central Africa, including Equatorial Guinea. Trade & Commodities Context: Guinea’s move to ban raw gold exports to force local processing is a reminder of the region’s push for value-add industrial policy that could shape how Equatorial Guinea approaches mining-linked jobs and processing.
