Assala Energy
Assala Energy is an oil exploration and production company.
Assala Energy’s strategy is to invest in improving the production efficiency of our mature fields by streamlining our operations while reducing our carbon footprint.
This is how Assala fulfils its role: to provide the energy we need and therefore contribute to local and national socio-economic development.
Assala Energy takes its inspiration from its namesake.
The Gabon is one of the last refuges for African forest elephants. Assala is the local name given to these elephants. Their small size is the result of their successful natural adaptation to the dense environment in the equatorial forests, and allows them to move around with ease and thrive.

Inspired by our namesake, our model is based on flexibility, innovation and creativity so we can adapt and progress in an ever-changing environment.

Assala has six production licences:
Rabi Kounga II, Toucan II, Bende M’Bassou Totou II, Koula/Damier, Gamba/lvinga and Atora II. We also have a stake in a production licence we do not directly operate (Tsiengui).

In 2019, four of these onshore production licences were renewed for 25 years, and the acquisition of three onshore exploration licences (Mutamba-lroru II, Nziembou II and Ozigo II) has opened up new development opportunities.

Assala Energy’s business strategy is to increase production safely while ensuring integrity. This means maximising the time the equipment is used, ensuring high-quality maintenance, and reducing our emissions and the environmental footprint of our operations in order to unlock the inherent potential of our production assets.

Our economically strong development projects are tailored to our objectives and meet our risk management criteria. Our primary concerns are asset integrity, workovers, well interventions, robust management of fuel tanks, optimisation and additional drilling.

The aim is to invest in our company’s performance and therefore the production of the energy we need. Assala can in turn contribute to socio-economic development and the Paris Agreement on greenhouse gas emissions.
