Angola Oil Industry - 2012 Prospects:
Angola is the second biggest producer of crude oil in Africa after Nigeria but its production for the upcoming fiscal has been lesser than estimated. This has happened due to field maintenance and various technical issues. This has led the government to reduce its growth forecasts from 7.6 percent to 3.4%.

The production of oil, which accounts for almost 90% of Angola’s exports, will be better in the upcoming fiscal. It is expected that the oil fields will be in a better position in the upcoming year and new projects will start operating.

The oil production for 2012 fiscal will be the highest after 2009 when the African economy generated 1.8 million barrels per day.
