Energy — oil & gas in Morocco.
A focused read drawn from Saga's full Morocco country profile — operators, the technical opportunity, and the corridor.
Energy — oil & gas
Domestic production is modest and gas-led. The state agency ONHYM (Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines) holds the state interest in all licences and partners with independents onshore and offshore.
The activity that matters today:
- Onshore gas in the east — Tendrara and surrounding licences, developed to supply domestic industry and power.
- Gharb Basin — small, shallow onshore gas fields feeding local industrial customers, with ongoing infill drilling.
- Offshore Atlantic — the Lixus licence (Anchois gas discovery) is being matured towards development, with gas-to-power as the anchor market.
- Gas infrastructure — the Maghreb–Europe pipeline now runs in reverse flow, and LNG import capacity is being planned to secure supply for power and industry.
For Saga's technology portfolio this means: small, cost-sensitive gas fields where well stimulation, integrity and intervention technology can lift output per well — on new wells from day one as well as on mature ones. Every additional domestic molecule displaces an imported one.
