Are the Majors transitioning out of Sub-Saharan Africa?
Report summary
The Majors are positioning themselves for the energy transition. This means cutting back on oil investments and slimming down upstream portfolios to meet bold emissions targets. Traditional deepwater oil projects have given way to gas and Sub-Saharan Big Oil looks ripe for portfolio rationalisation. Mature low-value assets are obvious divestment candidates but emissions and costs will influence bigger sales. But who might be the buyers and can they step into the Major's shoes?
