Gasol’s strategy is to identify and develop commercially attractive opportunities in the gas sector, with initial focus on liquefied natural gas (LNG), sourced from Africa’s Gulf of Guinea region.
Through the creation of a substantial value chain via a series of partnerships involving gas gathering, liquefaction and the shipment and regasification of LNG into high-value markets worldwide, Gasol aims to become the premier Africa-focused gas independent.
Gasol works in partnership with governments, energy majors, utilities and independents in Africa, the USA and Europe. Gasol is Afren’s exclusive downstream liquefaction partner in developing an LNG monetisation strategy.
