Why Oil & Gas Clients Turn to Clinton Consultancy
Africa’s oil and gas sector is rich with opportunity — from upstream exploration to downstream marketing — but it is also complex:
-
Multiple licensing regimes (PSCs, JVs, service contracts).
-
Strict local content rules.
-
Heavy regulatory oversight.
-
Political and reputational risks.
-
High-value disputes across borders.
Boards, investors, and operators need an adviser that provides global-level credibility and structured analysis, combined with deep local knowledge and networks. Clinton Consultancy delivers both.
