The upstream sector of the oil and gas industry includes all the steps involved from the preliminary exploration through the extraction of the resource. Upstream companies can be involved in all the steps of this phase of the life cycle of the oil and gas industry, or they may only be involved in part of the upstream sector. Another name for the upstream oil sector, which is actually more representative of what occurs in this stage of development of an oil asset and/or natural gas asset, is the exploration and production (E&P) sector. Petroleum exploration requires very sophisticated techniques, and the technology available for petroleum exploration is rapidly advancing.
Normally, exploration starts in an area that has high potential to hold a resource, usually due to the local geology and known nearby petroleum deposits. In a high-potential area, further exploration is completed to delineate a resource.
We are partners with international exploration companies and we are supporting them with new countries entry, especially in the Middle East region and west African countries. Thanks to our wide network of partners, we are able to secure exploration contracts to these companies.
Furthermore, we are partners with reputed upstream consultancy firms. These firms support our clients on many levels : basin evaluation, prospect generation, project management, etc. Africa Oil & Gas Integrated Solutions is one of the specialized consulting firms in the upstream. We rely on our partners when it comes to make an accurate project evaluation and the generated profits on the long term.
