Notes to Editors:
Coastal Africa Group Limited is a BVI incorporated company. The Company has been established with the objective of creating value for its investors through the acquisition and management of companies or assets in the energy sector.
The Company's acquisition strategy is focused on the oil and gas sector (including upstream and mid-stream opportunities), energy infrastructure, energy services, and energy assets in West Africa, in particular Nigeria and Angola, though it may consider opportunities in other jurisdictions.
Coastal's integrated energy company strategy aims to enhance project execution efficiency, improve asset returns, and reduce execution risk. This is achieved by mitigating third-party reliance, risks, and conflicts and by turning process storage and evacuation costs into a revenue stream, reducing break-even cost, lowering exposure to oil price volatility and unlocking transactions that may otherwise not be plausible.
Nigeria and Angola are experiencing economic and demographic fundamentals supportive of sustained growth in domestic demand for oil and gas resources, including GDP growth and electricity supply deficits, while holding significant resources. Furthermore, recent fiscal & regulatory change in Nigeria and Angola provide an attractive impetus for new oil and gas investment.
