Overview of IOCs in Niger

Niger only became an oil-producing nation in 2011. As of March 2012 the only international oil company (IOC) currently producing oil and gas in Niger was Chinese company China National Petroleum Corporation. The Russian company Gazprom and the Algerian company Sonatrach have both held licences to explore the Niger's reserves, whilst US company Hunt Petroleum and Canadian company TVI Pacific Inc. had been involved with exploration activities but have since withdrawn.
