About

BW Energy was founded in 2016 with a bold vision to unlock proven offshore oil and gas reservoirs that others had overlooked. As an independent exploration and production company operating across Gabon, Brazil, and Namibia, BW Energy leverages deep technical expertise and repurposed infrastructure to efficiently extract value from mature fields. The company's infrastructure-led development model minimizes lead times from investment to cash generation while reducing capital exposure - a critical advantage in delivering strong returns at competitive prices. With operated production exceeding 30,000 barrels per day and total resources approaching 600 million barrels, BW Energy has positioned itself for substantial growth through its transformative Maromba development, which aims to triple production to over 90,000 barrels per day by 2028.

What truly sets BW Energy apart is its agile, entrepreneurial approach combined with the operational discipline of a proven operator. Rooted in the legacy of BW Group - a global maritime powerhouse with over 80 years of industry leadership - BW Energy inherited deep expertise in offshore infrastructure and a mission to deliver energy responsibly. The company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and continues to execute its strategy of acquiring and developing proven hydrocarbon fields with significant upside potential. By integrating environmental, social, and governance principles into every aspect of operations, BW Energy is not just extracting resources - it's building a sustainable energy future while creating lasting value for stakeholders in the territories where it operates.
