Benin Resumes Oil Exports After Decades
12 Nov
Summary
- Benin has resumed oil exports, shipping its first crude cargo in decades.
- The oil tanker Kriti Jade is en route to Rotterdam, Netherlands.
- The offshore field had been inactive since the late 1990s.
Benin has re-entered the ranks of West Africa's oil-exporting states, marking a significant return to the global energy market. The nation's first crude oil cargo in decades is now en route to Europe.
The oil tanker Kriti Jade is currently sailing towards the Dutch port of Rotterdam. Its estimated arrival date is November 18, 2026.
This milestone is made possible by the reopening of an offshore oil field. This particular field had remained dormant and inactive since the late 1990s, highlighting a substantial revival of Benin's oil production capabilities.
