About Afren
A unique African proposition
Afren is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company that was founded in 2004 by a management team including Dr Rilwanu Lukman the former Secretary General and President of OPEC.
Since the Initial Public Offering, Afren has rapidly expanded its portfolio across seven countries: Nigeria, Sao Tome & Principe JDZ, Gabon, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Angola and Ghana. The Group is expecting to produce 15 to 20,000 barrels per day by 2008 from its current portfolio.
The vision is to become the premier pan-African independent exploration and production company, through partnering with indigenous companies and governments and acquiring equity stakes in exploration and development assets.
“ Afren has the asset base and set-up to become one of the leaders of the next generation of Africa-oriented independent oil and gas companies...” Olivier Serra, Managing Director, BNP Paribas RBL Group
