In this complimentary downloadable insight, Jane Whaley, Editor-in-Chief at GEO ExPro Magazine, explores Ethiopia’s 100 years of hydrocarbon exploration. |

While some power is supplied by hydropower, the rest is dependent on imported coal and oil.

The Ethiopian Ministry of Mines is keen to welcome more oil and gas exploration and investment into the country and is currently updating its petroleum legislation to make it more investor friendly.
