Angola Gas Production – Quiluma Field

Summary

The Quiluma field, part of Angola’s New Gas Consortium (NGC), has commenced gas production. This development represents a significant advancement within Angola’s broader gas monetization strategy and reinforces the country’s position as an emerging regional gas supplier. Gas introduction to the onshore plant occurred in November 2025; offshore production start-up confirmed 16-17 March 2026.
Initial output is flowing at approximately 150 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d), with ramp-up targeted at 330 mmscf/d by the end of 2026. At plateau, the field will deliver approximately 2 Mt/yr of LNG equivalent. Gas is processed onshore and fed directly into the Angola LNG plant for export to European and Asian markets. The project directly supports global LNG supply tightness, potentially commanding premium pricing in high-cycle markets. It enhances portfolio diversification into non-associated gas assets with long-term export revenue visibility. Key operator & Partners include Azule Energy (bp/Eni 50:50 JV) holds 37.4% and operates; other partners are Cabinda Gulf Oil Company (31%), Sonangol E&P (19.8%), and TotalEnergies (11.8%). ANPG acts as national concessionaire. Azule Energy, operating alongside CABGOC, Sonangol E&P, and TotalEnergies, confirmed commercial gas delivery from the offshore shallow-water field on 17 March 2026, ahead of the original schedule.
