Investment Strategy

Production first. Added value creation second. Disciplined execution drives both.

WAOGF seeks control, influential minority and structured-equity positions in assets where existing production, proven reserves or clearly defined near-term development can support an identifiable path to cash generation. Exploration exposure is expected to be limited and incidental rather than the core return driver.

The Opportunity

A structurally compelling entry point into Nigeria's upstream sector.

WAOGF is entering the market at a structurally compelling moment. Nigeria’s removal from the FATF grey list in October 2025 unlocked institutional capital that compliance mandates had previously restricted. The Petroleum Industry Act delivered investor-grade regulatory clarity to Nigeria’s upstream sector for the first time.

International oil companies are divesting onshore assets at discounted valuations, and the 2025/2026 licensing round has opened 50 blocks at reduced signature bonuses. Together, these dynamics create a rare and limited acquisition window.

Where We Invest

Diversified by design, de-risked by selection.

Producing and Near-producing Acquisitions
Acquire interests in proven assets where ownership transition, capital constraints or portfolio rationalization create attractive entry points.
Brownfield Optimization
Fund workovers, recompletions, debottlenecking, infill drilling and infrastructure improvements where technical diligence supports attractive risk-adjusted incremental barrels.
IOC and Portfolio Divestitures
Partner with qualified operators to pursue assets being sold or restructured by larger owners, with emphasis on transition planning, operating capability and community continuity.
Gas Monetization
Selectively finance associated and non-associated gas projects with contracted or highly visible demand, including processing, industrial supply and power-linked opportunities.
Selective Licensing Opportunities
Consider blocks where existing data, nearby infrastructure and development economics support a credible path to commercialization; avoid speculative acreage accumulation.
