Data published in January 2024 by the International Trade Administration and based on geological and seismic studies, show that Somalia is home to at least 30 billion barrels of oil resources.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nHowever, monetising this potential could take some time, given the generally long lead times for exploration work. Added to this is the political context in Somalia, which has been weakened by more than two decades of civil war.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThis situation has prompted multinationals such as Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil and Shell, previously involved in oil and gas exploration in Somalia, to withdraw from the country, which in 2020 introduced a legal framework for its oil sector to attract investors. Since then, the American companies Coastline Exploration and Liberty Petroleum have obtained permission from the Somali authorities to explore for hydrocarbons.\n\n    \n  \n\n","author":114,"featured_media":43009,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[5799,5807,5827],"location":[7000,5668],"class_list":["post-46382","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-energy","tag-gas","tag-oil","location-somalia","location-turkey"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3JRP5F0","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"In March, Turkey signed a cooperation agreement with Somalia, focusing in particular on the exploration and production of oil and gas from areas of interest onshore and offshore.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/px676324-image-kwvv6212-550x360.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/px676324-image-kwvv6212-550x360.jpg 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"px676324 image kwvv6212","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.67,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/px676324-image-kwvv6212.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/px676324-image-kwvv6212.jpg 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"px676324 image kwvv6212","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.67,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 -
