Sonangol Sociedade Nacional de Combustíveis de Angola (Sonangol), is Angola’s state-owned oil company. It is responsible for discovering, developing, and producing crude oil and natural gas across Angola’s onshore and offshore basins. The company operates through joint ventures and production-sharing contracts with international partners and works under the framework set by the national concessionaire, ANPG.
Production from Sonangol underpins Angola’s energy and industrial value chains, supplying hydrocarbons that feed refineries, gas processing, LNG, and power generation. Its associated gas, LPG, and condensates are relevant inputs for fuels and petrochemical derivatives, supporting downstream industries and broader economic activity. The company plays a central role in sustaining Angola’s export revenues while advancing efforts to monetize gas and strengthen domestic supply to industry.
