What Oando does

Oando PLC is one of Africa's largest integrated energy solutions providers, headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, and listed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX:OAO) and Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The company's core business is upstream oil and gas exploration and production in Nigeria, conducted through subsidiaries including Oando Energy Resources and joint venture interests acquired from the $783 million purchase of Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) from Eni in August 2024. Following that transaction, Oando's reserves base nearly doubled to approximately 1 billion barrels and production averaged 32,482 boepd in FY 2025 (up 32% year-on-year), with management targeting 60,000 boe/d.

The company operates three primary subsidiaries: Oando Energy Resources (upstream production), Oando Trading (crude oil and refined product trading, including a Dubai-based desk), and Oando Clean Energy Limited (renewable energy and sustainability initiatives). Revenue is generated through production and sale of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids sold to international refiners and traders, alongside domestic gas supply to independent power producers such as the 60MW IPP in Bayelsa State. The Oando Foundation, established in 2011, is the corporate social responsibility vehicle focused on education and has reached over 1 million beneficiaries across 324 schools in 24 Nigerian states.

In FY 2025, Oando reported revenue of ₦3.21 trillion (~$2.1 billion), down 21% year-on-year due to a deliberate mix shift away from low-margin refined-product trading toward higher-margin crude and gas transactions; profit after tax nonetheless rose 10% to ₦241.3 billion (~$158M). The company's strategic priorities include executing the 36-well drilling programme to scale production toward 100,000 boe/d, developing the Block KON-13 asset in Angola (first operated international project signed March 2026), and pursuing a $750 million capital raise to fund drilling of assets acquired from departing international oil majors.

Revenue model

1. Upstream Oil & Gas Production: Oando generates revenue through production and sale of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) from its upstream assets in Nigeria. Following the NAOC acquisition, production increased 32% year-on-year to 32,482 boepd in 2025, with crude oil production at 11,269 bopd and significant gas output.
2. Crude Oil and Gas Trading: Oando trades crude oil and gas in the domestic and international markets. The company intentionally scaled back lower-margin refined-product trading in 2025 in favor of higher-margin crude and gas trading opportunities, contributing to a revenue decline from N4.08 trillion to N3.21 trillion as volume shifted to higher-value transactions.
3. Gas Supply to Power Plants: Oando's upstream joint venture supplies gas to independent power plants, including an 11.2 million standard cubic feet per day supply agreement to a 60MW IPP in Bayelsa State, providing stable long-term revenue from domestic gas sales.

Direct peers

• ND Western Limited: Nigerian indigenous upstream operator focused on shallow offshore and onshore production in the Niger Delta. Comparable to Oando in indigenous positioning, JV structures, and focus on increasing production from mature assets.
• Tullow Oil plc: Africa-focused independent upstream oil and gas producer with operations in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and Uganda. Comparable to Oando as an Africa-focused E&P operator pursuing production growth and asset acquisitions in frontier and mature African basins.
• First Exploration & Petroleum Development Co. (First E&P): Indigenous Nigerian upstream operator with operated assets in the Niger Delta. Closely comparable to Oando as a privately-held Nigerian indigenous E&P player pursuing production growth and asset consolidation in the same basins.
• Seplat Energy plc: Nigeria's leading indigenous upstream oil and gas producer, dual-listed on the NGX and London Stock Exchange. Directly comparable to Oando in business model, indigenous-operator positioning, JV partnerships with NNPC, and target of acquiring divested IOC assets in Nigeria.
• Aiteo Group: Nigerian integrated energy company operating upstream assets including the Nembe Creek Trunk Line. Directly comparable as a Nigerian indigenous operator with upstream production, midstream pipeline assets, and a trading footprint similar to Oando's portfolio.
• Sahara Group Limited: Nigerian integrated energy company with operations spanning upstream, midstream, power, and trading. Directly comparable to Oando's integrated structure including Oando Trading and the gas-to-power supply model, both serving West African energy markets.

Broad incumbents

• Eni S.p.A. Italian international major that divested NAOC to Oando for $783M. Directly comparable in upstream oil and gas operations in Nigeria and Angola, and a legacy JV partner in Oando's NAOC joint venture — making Eni both a peer and a key counterparty.
• TotalEnergies SE: International major with significant Nigerian upstream operations undergoing divestment. Comparable as an IOC active in the same basins, with a competing but parallel upstream portfolio — and as a potential source of future divestment opportunities for Oando.
• NNPC Limited: Nigeria's national oil company and JV partner with Oando through NNPC E&P Limited and NAOC JV. Comparable as the dominant upstream operator in Nigeria, while also being a direct counterparty in Oando's key joint ventures, shaping the regulatory and commercial framework in which Oando operates.
