Description
Sahara Group is a leading privately owned Power, Energy, Gas and Infrastructure Conglomerate established in 1996 with operating companies active in the downstream, midstream, upstream, infrastructure and power sectors. Sahara has presence in different locations including Africa, The Caribbean, Asia and Europe.
The Group's strategy is to replicate its successes in Oil and Gas sector in the Energy & Infrastructure sector. To achieve this, Sahara has set out a roadmap for investing in people, processes, strategic acquisitions, principal investments and continuous expansion within, initially, the West African energy & infrastructure space, and then globally.
Sahara Group’s upstream division comprises a number of affiliates whose mission is to acquire, explore, appraise and develop commercial oil and gas assets in established basins and emerging frontiers in Africa. Affiliates include Sahara Energy Field, Enageed Resources, Sahara Energy Exploration and Production among others. Through partnerships with employees, local communities, contractors and other stakeholders Sahara’s affiliates help create and develop sustainable interventions.
Since starting operations in 2004, Sahara has grown its upstream portfolio, building a strong foundation in a number of West African basins. Today, through its upstream companies Sahara now participates with on and/or offshore equity interests in Nigerian, Ghanaian and Ivorian assets, some of which it also operates.
