During the week of August 11-15, African governments continued the trend of taking control of so-called strategic deposits. Faced with this sovereigntist and, for some, populist wave, major mining companies are mobilizing armies of lawyers while negotiating with states, redirecting their portfolios towards the safest assets, and reducing their presence in less productive segments. In the gas sector, BP, TotalEnergies, Shell, and Chevron are maintaining or adjusting their positions, often favoring offshore acquisitions (less conflictual, more segmented) over onshore. Here is the summary of the week.<\/p>\n

Niger – Orano: showdown over an arbitrator
\nIn the dispute between the Nigerien State and the French nuclear group Orano, the composition of the arbitral tribunal is tense. Orano had appointed Colombian lawyer Fernando Mantillo Serrano, alongside Burkinabe-Canadian jurist Sidibi Emmanuel Darankoum chosen by Niamey, and German jurist Maxi Scherer, co-arbitrator-president. But Niger has requested the disqualification of Mantillo Serrano for lack of independence, recalling that he had already chaired an ICSID tribunal that condemned the country in favor of a Scottish provider. The other two arbitrators will decide on his presence.<\/p>\n

Shell Nigeria – Onshore passed to Renaissance
\nShell sold SPDC to Renaissance (2.4 billion dollars). Shell retains its offshore\/LNG projects. Significant change of ownership.<\/p>\n
