Oil and Gas (petroleum) is almost as vital to human existence as water, because petroleum is used in every day-to-day activity, Petroleum remains in high demand. Historically, the oil and gas sector have played key roles in diversifying the economy
Investing in oil and gas is one of the most efficient ways of generating income /revenue as an investor; however, it is very sensitive. It appears very complex if not well understood.
It may be of interest to note, that- “Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing”…..Warren Buffet…
Hence, it is important to know as much about investing in oil and gas before venturing into it. Investing in oil and gas is usually a long-term one so it requires patience.
This article reveals some of the investment opportunities in the oil and gas sector and suggests the top five (5) oil and gas investment opportunity forum for intending investors in Africa oil and gas.
There are different kinds of investment opportunities in the upstream or downstream segments of the oil and gas industry. They include but are not limited to:
Exploration and Production: This deals mainly with the search, exploration, drilling and extraction of oil. It is the earliest phase of oil and gas production process.
Typical investment here is the acquisition Oil Prospecting License (OPL) which covers the exploration phase and the Oil Mining Licence (OML) which includes the production phase.
Working Capital Partnership The oil and gas industry is cash intensive, A key challenge is how to access and manage cash demands necessary to meet monthly and sometimes even daily demands operations. Oil and gas companies typically source their funding from banks, cashcall from joint venture partners, and share capital from equity investors.
Investors can provide funds as “working capital partners” to cover: accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventories. Indeed, an improved cash culture can enhance cash flow and ensure required changes are sustainable.
Services and Support: This form of investment deals mainly with providing supporting services. Examples include transportation, shipping and logistics, construction and engineering, drilling and refining hardware and equipment.
One strategy that an independent investor can adopt is to specialize in providing supports and services like a hydrographic survey on oil sites, mud pit construction works at rig sites, seismic data interpretation, drilling operations, and storage tank farm
Top exploration and production companies may require these specialized services on contracts. Becoming a specialist in the provision of the above-listed services can set you apart in the oil and gas market.
