Equatorial Guinea has held talks with TotalEnergies, ConocoPhillips, and QatarEnergy to discuss new projects aimed at reactivating the country's gas production. The meeting, which included representatives from the country's foreign affairs and hydrocarbons departments, as well as diplomats and top officials from GEPetrol and SONAGAS, focused on potential exploration and development projects. These projects could expand the operations of these companies in Equatorial Guinea and add new reserves to the country's production.
The discussions centered around five new blocks, with two located in the south of the country and three others that will be explored through reconnaissance licenses. The goal is to assess their potential and determine the feasibility of developing new projects in these areas. A larger-scale initiative is also being considered, in collaboration with other major US companies. If realized, this project could become one of the largest gas development projects in Equatorial Guinea's history.

The Equatorial Guinea government believes that partnerships with experienced international companies can attract investment, technology, and technical expertise.
