“Operationally, Savannah Energy has made marked progress in its core projects. The company signed a turnkey drilling contract for up to two new wells on its Uquo Field in Nigeria, with the Uquo NE well slated to begin drilling in January 2026.
“This development is forecast to provide a significant boost to Nigeria’s energy supply, with anticipated gas volumes of up to 80 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d). Additionally, production at the Stubb Creek asset has risen by 20% compared to the 2024 average, reaching a current gross daily output of 3.2 Kbopd.”
The company also announced that it is finalising agreements with a consortium of five Nigerian banks to refinance its Accugas subsidiary’s debt.

Savannah Energy’s focus on its portfolio of projects across Africa continues, with ongoing development of the Parc Eolien de la Tarka wind farm in Niger and the Bini a Warak hybrid hydroelectric and solar project in Cameroon.
