Dangote is helping fund a $660 million petroleum-products pipeline linking Djibouti and landlocked Ethiopia. The 120-km corridor will connect Damerjog with Dewele and add more than one million cubic metres of storage, marking another step in Dangote's expanding strategy to build Africa-wide refining, storage and fuel-distribution infrastructure.
Nigeria's Oilserv has signed an agreement with Gabon to develop two hydrocarbon blocks and associated gas transportation, compression and treatment infrastructure. The deal marks a new phase in Oilserv's continental expansion, taking the company beyond pipeline construction into resource development and gas monetisation.
EACOP has reached 92.7% completion as Uganda moves closer to first oil, but the pipeline’s significance is expanding beyond crude transportation. With Pearl Sweet preparing for export, Vitol entering the marketing picture and a proposed $20 billion Tanga Energy Hub taking shape, East Africa is building an energy corridor around the pipeline.
Pipeline installation has begun for TotalEnergies’ Mozambique LNG project, marking a major construction milestone as the $20 billion development targets first LNG production in 2029.
Mozambique and Zimbabwe have launched a major expansion of the Beira–Harare fuel corridor, increasing pipeline capacity by 67% as demand grows across Zimbabwe and the wider Southern African hinterland.
Saudi Arabia has shut its 1,200-km East–West oil pipeline after a drone attack, putting fresh pressure on global oil supplies as both the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea face mounting security risks.
Ghana Gas is seeking private investment for a 278-km bi-directional pipeline linking Takoradi and Tema, a project designed to strengthen gas security and give the country greater flexibility in moving fuel between its western production base and eastern demand centres.
The deaths at Okrika have once again exposed the dangerous intersection of oil theft, pipeline security and economic hardship in Nigeria's Niger Delta, raising questions that go far beyond the immediate casualty count.
The 2026 World Decarbonization Summit brought together leading voices from government, industry and sustainability to discuss practical pathways for accelerating Nigeria’s energy transition. Held in Lagos under the theme “Accelerating Decarbonization Through Collaboration, Innovation and Sustainable Climate Action,” the summit highlighted the importance of collaboration, innovation, climate finance and sustainable development, while featuring contributions from notable speakers.
