The Republic of Sierra Leone is strategically placed on the African continental shelf, signaling excellent potential for the exploration of oil and gas in the country. With recent discoveries along the Equatorial Atlantic Margin, these are exciting times for the Petroleum Directorate of Sierra Leone in our mission to opening up our shores to deepwater exploration.

Sierra Leone is moving with great resolve and determination on the road of development and prosperity under the Medium-Term National Development Plan (MTNDP). In line with the MTNDP, the oil and gas sector will play an essential role in transforming Sierra Leone, driving the country’s economic development and growth.
