angolaafentraWith 20,006 barrels of oil per day generated from offshore Angola during Q1 2026, Afentra plc reported a stable asset performance, driven by the consistency of asset revamping and integrity workstreams.

Key workstreams as part of multi-year redevelopment plan in Angola for increased reserves recovery and production growth included water injection work, which reached up to 70,000 bwpd. The company now targets attaining 100,000 bwpd in H2 2026. 

The Pambi platform has already undergone infrastructure upgrades for improved reliability and operational performance, and similar work is ongoing on the Cobo and Palanca platforms. The Palanca FSO is ready for safe operations over the next five years as it has received formal recertification.
