Chevron Strikes Oil Offshore Angola with Significant Discovery

Chevron, one of the world's leading oil and gas companies, has made another significant discovery offshore Angola. The company announced an oil and gas condensate find at the 105-4X exploration well in Block 0, located in the prolific Lower Congo Basin.

The discovery involves a 2,000-foot oil and gas condensate column with more than 300 feet of net pay in 'excellent' reservoir quality. This is considered a good discovery, as it indicates economically producible hydrocarbons. Chevron holds a 39.2% operating interest in Block 0, co-owned with Sonangol (41% interest), TotalEnergies (10%), and Azule Energy (9.8%).

The company and its partners plan to assess the discovery's potential for development as a tieback to Chevron's existing nearby infrastructure. This would provide a capital-efficient path to production for this find.

Chevron has made several offshore discoveries over the past year, including an oil discovery at the Bandit prospect in the Gulf of Mexico and three near-field exploration successes in Nigeria since 2024. The company is also preparing a high-impact multi-well exploration program across Sub-Saharan Africa, including Namibia.
