Chevron Fuels Bissau’s Growth

Guinea-Bissau has crossed a historic threshold in its economic and strategic trajectory. Chevron Fuels Bissau’s Growth delivers a clear intelligence assessment of Chevron Corporation’s entry into the country’s offshore oil and gas sector—marking the first major international energy investment in Guinea-Bissau’s portion of the Mauritania–Senegal–Gambia–Bissau–Conakry (MSGBC) Basin.

This Africa Watch report explains why Chevron’s acquisition of exploration blocks signals rising international confidence in one of West Africa’s most underexplored hydrocarbon frontiers. It unpacks the structure of the deal, the strategic rationale behind Chevron’s move, and how Guinea-Bissau is positioning itself alongside Senegal and Mauritania in an emerging Atlantic energy corridor.

Beyond energy, the analysis highlights the wider implications: potential state revenue growth, job creation, technology transfer, and Guinea-Bissau’s effort to diversify an economy long constrained by political instability and fiscal vulnerability. The report also assesses the risks—governance capacity, regulatory clarity, and political continuity—that will determine whether exploration success translates into sustainable development.

For policymakers, investors, and strategic analysts, this is early insight into a frontier market before it enters mainstream energy discourse.
