Report summary
Offshore Côte d'Ivoire is located entirely within the Côte d'Ivoire basin. It is one of a series of mid-Cretaceous pull-apart features formed during the separation of South America and Africa. To date, only Cretaceous traps have been targeted which included the 2007 2.5 billion boe Jubilee field. More recently, the 2021 Baleine discovery found 2.5 billion barrels of oil and 3.3 tcf of associated gas in a new carbonate play concept. This was followed up by the Calao discovery in 2024, further highlighting the basin's porspectvity. The basin offers attractive full-cycle economics, supported by moderate fiscal terms relative to established West African oil producers, such as Angola and Nigeria.
