Oil & gas exploration works in Mali have reached an advanced stage. Further to the first encouraging results, the Mali government decided to look into the setting-up of a national oil & gas company as well as one or several entities that would be in charge of the definition and implementation of a national strategy for the petroleum and hydrocarbons sector.
SOFRECO assisted the government in achieving this goal; our team developed an appropriate institutional framework for the management of the different aspects of the oil & gas sector.   

The services provided by the consultant include:
An overview of Cameroon's geological and mining potential;
Identification of the economic, environmental and social impacts of exploiting this potential for Cameroon;
Identification of the short- and medium-term priorities to achieve the mining sector’s sustainable development, taking into account knowledge levels, the institutional system governing the sector, the geological potential and infrastructure needs;
Identification of the main gaps in the mining sector’s current management by the different actors involved, and proposal of ways to better organise the sector.

Design and architecture of the future national Geological and Mining Information System. This information tool is intended to enable mining sector operators, institutional users and the general public to have access to geological and mining documentation in digital format, particularly from the National Geological Data Bank, the Mining Cadastre Information System, etc.
