March 17, 2026 [Reuters]- BP said on Monday its Angola joint venture, Azule Energy, has started producing gas from the Quiluma field, part of the country’s New Gas Consortium (NGC).
NGC is Angola’s first non-associated gas project, and is operated by Azule Energy, in partnership with Cabinda Gulf Oil Company, Sonangol and TotalEnergies.
The Quiluma production start marks a key step in Angola’s pivot toward non-associated gas development — natural gases drawn from wells without significant crude oil — and LNG optimization, bolstering its push to become a more prominent player in the global gas market.
BP said the initial production at Quiluma is expected to reach 150 million standard cubic feet (mmscf) per day, with output rising to 330 mmscf per day by the end of 2026.
The British energy major plans to deliver 10 major project start-ups globally by the end of 2027.
