Overview

ARIF GROUP's oil and gas practice spans the full hydrocarbon value chain, from upstream exploration and production advisory through to midstream pipeline and terminal infrastructure and downstream refining and distribution, supporting national oil companies, international majors, and independent operators across Africa and the Middle East.

Despite the global energy transition, oil and gas will remain critical to the global energy mix for decades, and African nations with significant hydrocarbon reserves have both the right and the economic imperative to monetise those resources to fund development. ARIF GROUP supports this monetisation through financing advisory, project structuring, and the facilitation of international partnerships that bring technology, capital, and expertise to resource-rich but infrastructure-poor nations.

ARIF GROUP's oil and gas practice includes LNG terminal development, gas monetisation advisory, and the structuring of greenfield export facilities designed to bring stranded hydrocarbon reserves to international markets.
