Profile

https://mereninc.com

Meren Energy Inc. is an independent upstream oil and gas exploration and production company focused on high-impact assets in West and Southern Africa. It operates producing and development properties primarily in deepwater Nigeria, alongside a portfolio of exploration and development opportunities in Namibia, South Africa, and Equatorial Guinea. The company holds strategic interests in major discoveries, such as the Venus light oil project offshore Namibia in the Orange Basin, and maintains partnerships with integrated oil majors that carry it through to first production, mitigating exploration risks. Formerly known as Africa Oil Corp., Meren Energy Inc. rebranded in May 2025 following key mergers like the consolidation of Prime Oil & Gas, which doubled production and cash flow. Incorporated in 1993 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with a lean team of 25 employees, it emphasizes disciplined capital allocation, robust free cash flow generation, and shareholder returns through double-digit dividend yields and share repurchases. Meren Energy Inc. plays a pivotal role in unlocking offshore hydrocarbon potential across Africa, balancing current Nigerian cash flows with long-term growth from frontier basins.
