Twelve exploration licenses have been signed during the country\u2019s 12<sup>th<\/sup> licensing round, which is ongoing and offered a total of 35 blocks. The renewed attractiveness of Gabon\u2019s oil sector is explained in the report, including a new oil and gas code; increased focus on natural gas development and an agreement with the International Monetary Fund to revitalize Gabon\u2019s economy, thus increasing international confidence in the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite global threats posed by COVID-19, Gabon is committed to breathing new life into its high potential oil and gas sector. Strategically positioned in the Gulf of Guinea, with a long history of oil exploration and production and strong ambitions for the future, Gabon is set on the right track. The next few months will be key as we emerge from the global pandemic, but Gabon can count on strong partners down the way,\u201d expressed James Chester, Acting CEO of Africa Oil &amp; Power.<\/p>\n<p><i>Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Africa Oil &amp; Power Conference.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>To download the <em>Africa Energy Series Special Report: Gabon 2020 report<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africaoilandpower.com\/africa-energy-series\/aes-special-report-2020-gabon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">please click here<\/a> (https:\/\/bit.ly\/2xFO1T5).
