Talk to Our TeamMultiple Shores. One Strategic Partner.
Petrogas brings together international oil and gas expertise with local African knowledge to support complex development projects.
Our consulting approach is designed to help governments, national oil companies, investors, international oil companies, contractors and communities navigate the complex environment surrounding oil and gas development.
We focus on practical strategies that strengthen relationships, improve institutional capacity and support sustainable economic and social outcomes.
Three Areas Where Expertise Matters
Community Engagement
Mitigating local resentment and pushback against oil and gas developments through stronger relationships with community leaders and local stakeholders.
International Expertise
Supporting national oil companies with international industry expertise, knowledge and best practices.
Local African Expertise
Helping international oil companies and contractors understand local environments, stakeholders and development priorities.
International Experience. African Understanding.
With more than a decade of industry experience and active offices in Dar es Salaam and Washington D.C., Petrogas is positioned to understand different sides of African oil and gas development projects.
A major part of our consulting work involves helping clients develop and maintain strong relationships with community leaders and local stakeholders.
We help companies and government agencies understand community needs and concerns while communicating the economic and social benefits associated with oil and gas development.
Independent Perspective. Shared Understanding.
Petrogas works with national oil companies, governments, state-owned corporations, investors, banks, international oil companies, contractors and local communities.
This broad perspective allows us to navigate the complex oil and gas environment while focusing on our client’s best interests.
Local development requires a strong first impression. A poor first impression can be difficult to overcome. Petrogas helps clients understand both the industry and the community, identifying opportunities where both can benefit from working together.
From Traditional CSR to Asset-Based Development
Traditional corporate social responsibility approaches can sometimes create the perception that communities need to be helped or saved.
Petrogas takes an asset-based approach that focuses on strengths and opportunities.
We view diversity in people, thought, culture and local characteristics as positive assets. Every community has value, strengths and potential.
