Chevron Signs Preliminary Agreement to Explore for Offshore Oil in Angola



Luanda, Angola – September 3, 2025 — Chevron has signed a preliminary agreement with Angola’s National Oil, Gas & Biofuels Agency (ANPG) to explore for oil in offshore Block 33/24. This agreement is structured as a Risk Services Contract (RSC) and marks a significant step in Chevron’s ongoing commitment to deep-water exploration in Angola.

Block 33/24 is located in the Lower Congo Basin, an area known for its rich hydrocarbon resources, and sits adjacent to highly productive blocks such as Blocks 17 and 32. The block’s location offers promising prospects for new discoveries that could further boost Angola’s oil production.

The agreement, which was announced during an energy conference in Angola, remains subject to regulatory approvals before full exploration activities can commence.

Chevron’s engagement in this block highlights the company’s strategic focus on expanding its offshore portfolio in Africa while supporting Angola’s efforts to increase energy production and investment.

ANPG continues to foster partnerships with major international oil companies through competitive contracts designed to unlock Angola’s vast offshore potential. This latest agreement with Chevron is part of a broader effort to stimulate exploration and production growth in the region.
