Kenya to Launch Oil & Gas Licensing Round in September
Kenya is set to initiate its first oil and gas licensing round in September 2025, offering ten exploration blocks to investors, according to a recent announcement from Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi.
The ten blocks were selected using geoscientific data to ensure a transparent allocation process, with the government providing comprehensive seismic surveys, geological reports and well data. This follows a restructuring of Kenya's ‘s petroleum exploration blocks to align with global standards, offering flexible Production Sharing Contract terms and tax incentives.
In addition to the licensing round, Kenya is investing in key infrastructure projects to bolster oil and gas exploration and development. Notable projects include the expansion of Lamu Port under the LAPSSET Corridor Program and the Lamu-Lokichar pipeline.
