João Afonso Fialho, Head Partner of the Oil & Gas practice, and Marizeth Vicente, International Adviser in the same practice, have contributed to the chapter on Angola in the 2025 edition of Lexology Panoramic's Gas Regulation.
This publication covers the legal framework for the production, supply and distribution of natural gas in Angola, providing an up-to-date overview of the applicable regulations. The chapter also addresses structural aspects of the domestic market, the main regulatory guidelines and the most relevant trends shaping the sector's development.
According to the authors, 'Angola has 27 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves but still needs to foster the monetisation of its gas resources, as the country continues to be focused almost exclusively on oil production. As the natural gas sector increasingly positions itself as a vital component of the energy transition, Angola is embarking on a series of comprehensive initiatives to monetise and exploit natural gas'.
