Côte d’Ivoire’s proven reserves have the potential for it to become a major offshore oil producer in West Africa. While the country is a well-established producer, output is set to significantly grow once Eni starts developing its 2.5bn barrels of oil and 3.3 Tcf of gas discovered at Baleine. Beyond Baleine, Côte d’Ivoire has significant exploration potential and several discoveries waiting to be developed. What’s next for the country and how is policy helping to build local content while drawing investments into E&P?
