Written by the energy desk of Kachikwu & Nama Law Firm — a Texas firm built for Africa–U.S. energy deals, led by Prof. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu (former President of OPEC; former Group Managing Director of NNPC; former Nigerian Minister of State for Petroleum Resources) and Georges C. Nama, Esq. (Texas attorney, 25+ years in oil, gas and cross-border transactions).
What you get
Intelligence built for the people who sign the deal.
Deal-grade signal
M&A, final investment decisions, licensing rounds, farm-ins, financings, LNG sales agreements, first oil and gas, and the fiscal and regulatory shifts that quietly reprice a transaction.
“What it means for U.S. companies”
Every item closes with a plain-English read on the legal and transactional stakes — not just the headline, but the implication for your next move.
Sourced, not spun
Each story links to the primary document — the regulator’s notice, the court filing, the company release, the wire report — so you can verify it yourself.
In six languages
English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Chinese — the working languages of Africa–U.S. energy capital.
The rhythm
Every Monday morning, before the week starts.
We sweep
Our desk tracks regulators, courts, wire services and company releases across Africa, the Americas, the Middle East and global LNG.
We filter
We keep the six-to-nine moves that matter to Africa–U.S. energy, and verify every figure, date and name against the source.
