Chevron achieves first oil production at South N’dola offshore platform in Angola after over two years of construction. The platform in Block 0 contributes to 12% of Angola’s daily energy output, utilizing existing infrastructure for efficiency. Chevron aims to maximize production from its existing offshore assets in Angola.

The South N’dola platform connects to the Mafumeira facility for processing before export, eliminating the need for separate processing units. Chevron has operated in Angola for over 70 years, managing Block 0 and deepwater Block 14 through its subsidiary Cabinda Gulf Oil. The platform was expected to create over 800 local jobs during construction.

Now operational, South N’dola supplies oil and gas to facilities in Angola. Chevron emphasizes its longstanding partnership with the Angolan government in developing the nation’s energy industry. In a separate move, Chevron and Helleniq Energy submitted a bid for natural gas exploration in Greece.
