Angola: Azule Energy Strikes Massive Gas In Gajajeira-01 Well, Block 1/14
The Angolan National Agency of Petroleum, Gas, and Biofuels (ANPG) and the Contractor Group of Block 1/14 have announced a gas discovery at the Gajajeira-01 exploration well, located offshore in the Lower Congo Basin.
The block is operated by Azule Energy (35%) in partnership with Equinor (30%), Sonangol E&P (25%), and Acrep S.A. (10%).
The well was spudded on April 1, 2025, in a water depth of 95 meters, approximately 60 kilometers off the coast. It encountered gas- and condensate-bearing sandstones in one of the Lower Oligocene targets, designated LO100.
Preliminary results from wireline logging and fluid sampling indicate over 30 meters of net pay in reservoirs with good mobility.
According to Azule, initial assessments suggest that gas volumes in place could exceed 1 trillion cubic feet, with up to 100 million barrels of associated condensate.
The results confirm the presence of a working hydrocarbon system and open new exploration opportunities in the area.
Azule Energy will continue to assess the full potential of the Gajajeira-01 discovery and collaborate with Block 1/14 partners to determine the optimal development strategy. The well was drilled safely using advanced formation evaluation and monitoring tools to assess reservoir quality and fluid characteristics, with a strong emphasis on operational safety.
Paulino Jerónimo, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ANPG, stated, “These new discoveries are a motivating factor in our ongoing efforts to attract private investment in the sector for the development and monetization of natural gas. This resource is vital for enhancing energy access and domestic consumption, as well as for boosting Angola’s petrochemical and fertilizer industries.”
Adriano Mongini, CEO of Azule Energy, commented, “This is a landmark moment for gas exploration in Angola. Gajajeira-01 is the country’s first dedicated gas exploration well, and its success reinforces our confidence in the potential of the Lower Congo Basin. We are proud to contribute to Angola’s long-term energy development with a focus on sustainability and energy security.”
According to Azule Energy, drilling operations are ongoing, with the next target being the last Lower Oligocene interval, LO300.

Trump To Launch $70 Billion AI-Energy Plan At Pittsburgh Summit
U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to unveil a $70-billion investment package on Tuesday designed to give a major funding boost to energy and data infrastructure, Reuters reports, with the announcement set to come during the Pennsylvania Energy & Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh.
Sources familiar with the plan also told Bloomberg that the funding would include federal-private partnerships and possible Department of Energy-led permitting reforms. While exact allocations remain undisclosed as of the time of writing, the package is expected to prioritize regions facing power congestion due to rising AI workloads, including Pennsylvania, Texas, and Georgia.
According to Axios, over 60 energy and technology CEOs will attend the summit, including representatives from ExxonMobil, Amazon Web Services, Chevron, Palantir, and BlackRock.
The initiative comes against a backdrop of mounting strain on U.S. electricity infrastructure, with data centers now among the fastest-growing sources of demand. A Reuters analysis published last week found that demand from AI-driven compute loads is outpacing available generation in key markets. Meta, for example, recently secured 1.1 gigawatts of nuclear power from Constellation’s Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois under a 20-year agreement.
Analysts say Trump’s proposal could redirect investment back toward fossil generation and nuclear while reducing federal support for wind and solar. Bloomberg noted the plan may scale back Inflation Reduction Act tax credits, potentially cutting over 300 gigawatts of future renewable capacity. Critics argue the energy shift could benefit legacy infrastructure at the expense of decarbonization targets.
Trump’s announcement also includes a plan to redevelop a former Aliquippa steel mill into a high-density data center complex, according to CBS News. The site would anchor one of several new AI-energy corridors envisioned under the program.

Ugandan Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL) has marked 100 days after taking over electricity distribution from Umeme in April this year, emphasizing stability in power supply across the country since the takeover.
Giving an account of their first 100 days, UEDCL Managing Director Paul Mwesigwa said they have reached great milestones since taking over from Umeme over three months ago.
“We have managed to achieve stability in the vending and billing system, and our customers have not experienced any material issues. The cash collection is at 104%. That’s good progress for a good institution and distributor in general,” Mwesigwa said.
“We are creating a healthy energy sector. We have paid 100% of our bills, and generators can be financed. Total payments to the transmitter since the takeover in April are Shs220 billion, already paid to UETCL. With the few activities we’ve done so far, we’ve demonstrated improved reliability, and overall, by the end of June, it stands at 97.7% compared to 97.1% in March.”
According to Paul Mwesigwa, they have replaced about 116 outdated transformers, noting that they will soon replace more.
“There are more transformers failing, and we’re going to install more than 518 transformers so that people get a steady supply and good voltage,” Mwesigwa said.
He noted that they have streamlined the procurement process with the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets (PPDA) to ensure the process of acquiring new transformers is efficient.
“If you need a transformer, the process is very easy, and you shouldn’t expect significant delays in our service delivery.”
The UEDCL boss said they have maintained the call center, and all channels of communication are available.
The UEDCL Managing Director said that as part of their ongoing efforts, they have started upgrading the network to solve the problems of load shedding.
Mwesigwa said they have established overload but also worked on some lines like the Kawanda-Matugga, Mbarara North transformer, Kabale-Kisoro, and Kakiri.
“We’re seeing stability in those areas.”
He, however, said they have also identified 11 critical substations that are loaded over 80%, noting that this causes load shedding in areas served by these substations.
Mwesigwa said they are working on solving this problem.
Commenting on the progress of UEDCL’s work, Energy Minister Ruth Nankabirwa hailed the company for proving the naysayers wrong.
“The country has not plunged into darkness as many had thought. We’re moving forward with supplying and selling power. UEDCL has paid 100% for the power it has bought. This is successful execution of the job,” Nankabirwa said.
“I’m proud of UEDCL’s first 100 days. My ministry will continue to support UEDCL to ensure it’s fit for the job.”

South Africa: Shell Obtains Permission To Drill For Oil And Gas Offshore
Shell has received environmental authorization to drill up to five deepwater wells to explore for oil and gas off the west coast of South Africa.
“Should viable resources be found offshore, this could significantly contribute to South Africa’s energy security and the government’s economic development programmes,” the supermajor said in a statement carried by Reuters.
The company did not provide details of the drilling plans.
Shell applied last year for environmental authorizations to drill ultra-deepwater wells offshore South Africa, targeting drilling in the Northern Cape Ultra Deep Block (NCUD) in the Orange Basin off South Africa’s west coast.
Previous attempts by Shell to drill offshore South Africa have ended up in court as environmental campaigners have challenged oil and gas exploration activities.
Analysts believe some offshore formations that South Africa shares with the offshore areas of Namibia – the latest deepwater exploration hotspot – could hold great resource potential.
Shell and another supermajor, TotalEnergies, have already made large discoveries offshore Namibia, in the same Orange Basin that spans South African and Namibian waters.
The basin extends to South African waters to the south and the majors are now looking to tap into these areas hoping to find huge resources similar to the ones in the Namibian portion of the Orange Basin.
However, red tape and court challenges to drilling offshore South Africa have impeded the majors from exploration off the country’s west coast.
While South Africa struggles to launch a domestic exploration and production sector, Namibia is weighing potential further incentives and financing options to offer to international majors preparing plans for oil production offshore the African country.
Namibia looks at financing mechanisms, including credit support instruments and partnerships with international lending institutions, Kornelia Shilunga, special adviser and head of upstream petroleum unit in the Namibian Presidency, told Bloomberg last month.
Namibia expects TotalEnergies and Norway’s BW Energy to take final investment decisions on oil projects in late 2026, a senior Namibian official said in May.
