Sahara Energy Field Limited (SEFL) is the upstream exploration and production (E&P) arm of the group. Its core business is to explore and develop oil and gas assets in established and emerging frontiers.

SEFL aims to create value for its shareholders through successful exploration, development and production of oil and gas reserves while contributing to the future and development of the countries where its operations are located.

Our commitment and participatory approach – partnering through time and resources with employees, local communities and contractors – would help create and sustain vibrant communities which in turn would contribute to our success and the national strength of countries we operate in.

Since it began its operations in 2004, the company has succeeded in establishing a firm foundation in selected West African basin with interests in the following assets either as operator or partner:

1. OPL 274  Western onshore Niger Delta (100%*)
2. OPL 286 in Deep Water Nigeria (26%*)
3. OPL 284 in Deep Water Nigeria (45%*)
4. Tsekelewu marginal field (OML 40) (51%*)
5. Block 5 in the Nigeria-Sao Tome Joint Development Zone (10%*)

SEFL executed a seismic agreement with GNPC of Ghana and has exercised its right of first refusal on the ECTP Block B1 after acquiring 1,250 sq km of 3D seismic.

SEFL has recently entered into a 50/50 JV with PGS/Azimuth which gives us access to the largest seismic database across the west of Africa (from Mauritania to Nambia)

SEFL will continue to acquire, explore and develop oil and gas assets in the emerging frontiers of Africa; using this as a foundation for creating a viable E&P company that can operate in any of the global oil basins.
