SLB in Angola, Central and East Africa

Global reach – Local presence

Overview

For over 90 years, SLB’s historical footprint across Angola, Central, and East Africa has been instrumental in our commitment to accelerating decarbonization while delivering affordable and accessible energy in Africa.

Operating in over 10 countries, we work collaboratively with local stakeholders, leveraging the pioneering spirit of our people to produce lower-carbon oil and gas while developing and scaling new energy technologies to accelerate the energy transition.

From the first Delfi deployment in Angola to the first autonomous drilling in the Republic of Congo among others, we are committed to fostering partnerships that drive sustainable growth, foster innovation, and support socio-economic development.

We do this while remaining steadfast in our resolve to be the partner of choice in the region.
