Where are Angola’s major petroleum reserves located?

Angola’s major petroleum reserves are primarily concentrated in the maritime zones off the coast of the Cabinda exclave and the Congo River estuary.1

While the majority of production occurs offshore, there is also some onshore production located near Soyo and Luanda, with prospecting activities extending as far south as Kuanza Sul. Additionally, significant deepwater petroleum development is situated within the Congo basin, which includes major producing blocks such as Block 15 and Block 17.12
