The strategic and operational advantages that apply to the Vitol Group as a whole – speed, flexibility, local understanding – are nowhere more relevant and mutually beneficial than in our upstream operations.

Vitol has been building its upstream oil and gas business for almost 20 years. Today, we have a diversified portfolio of exploration, appraisal, development and production assets in the Former Soviet Union (FSU), Southeast Asia and West Africa.

Our net production is currently in excess of 8,000 barrels of oil per day and our proved plus probable (2P) reserves are around 100 million barrels of oil equivalent. Although we already hold a large portfolio of discovered but undeveloped oil and gas resources and a material exploration inventory, we are continuously seeking other growth opportunities.

Our assets in the FSU are managed by Vitol’s subsidiary, Arawak Energy, which provides the majority of our production and is an established and trusted operator of onshore fields in Russia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. Our other upstream unit, Vitol E&P, focuses on offshore exploration and development in West Africa and has a producing field in the Philippines.
