LUKoil has invested around $1 billion in investment projects in West Africa, said Andrei Kuzyayev, head of Lukoil Overseas.
"We aren't ruling out developing the gas business in the region at future stages. Russia has a chance in Africa, and we shouldn't let it slip by." Kuzyayev said, Interfax reported.
Lukoil Overseas acquired the rights to become the operator of the offshore exploration projects CI-101 and CI-401 in the Ivory Coast and Cape Three Points Deep Water in Ghana from the Vanco group at the end of May. Lukoil Overseas also signed an agreement to acquire Vanco Exploration.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
