Trident Energy’s latest expansion includes its April 2024 acquisition of a 31.5% non-operating stake in the Moho-Bilondo, Nkossa and Nsoko II fields in the Republic of Congo from Chevron, along with a 15.75% operating interest in the Lianzi field. Additionally, the company acquired a 53.5% working interest in the Nkossa and Nsoko II fields from TotalEnergies, bringing its total stake to 85% and securing operatorship. These acquisitions strengthen Trident’s position in the region, providing the company with greater operational control and new opportunities to enhance production efficiency and field recovery.
These strategic investments complement Trident’s existing operations in Equatorial Guinea, where the company has been implementing enhanced recovery techniques and infrastructure upgrades to sustain and increase production. In October 2024, Trident brought online the C-45 infill well – the first of two infill wells at the producing Ceiba Field and Okume Complex in offshore Block G – where the company aims to continue ramping up production to reach its full potential. Following this, a well will be drilled at the Akeng Deep ILX well in Block S, where Trident also holds interests. These activities align with the theme of IAE 2025, where industry leaders will discuss maximizing asset value and exploring new opportunities for growth across Africa’s energy sector.
