U.K. firms spearhead Morocco’s natural gas ambitions

As Morocco’s domestic demand for gas grows, the country aims to expand its production while reducing reliance on coal power, offering tax breaks to exploration companies. Around 70% of domestic output is produced by SDX Energy, the only international company currently producing gas in the country.

But London-listed peers Sound Energy, Chariot Ltd. and Predator Oil & Gas Holdings have plans to dramatically increase Morocco’s gas production, meeting domestic demand and potentially exporting the surplus to Europe. U.S. oil major ConocoPhillips has also recently landed in Morocco to carry out hydrocarbon exploration…

As part of this roadmap, the government presented new regulation for the downstream gas sector and announced plans to deploy additional gas transport and storage infrastructure. “Morocco is hungry for energy, hungry for power. Their industrial needs are growing dramatically,” Chariot Chief Executive Officer Adonis Poroulis told Dow Jones Newswires.

Now Conoco Phillips actually has a pretty good environmental record as one of the top 4 oil related companies for environmental practices.

While it is easy to say people who criticize the oil companies are “demonizing” fossil fuels a lot of it is actually the practices of the companies themselves that calls forth the criticism.

The practices of a company like Conoco Phillips shows what an ethical business can do.

==========================================================

I have been demonizing petroleum and coal. Natural gas is much cleaner than the other two fossil fuels as you know. This article is about natural gas so it does not get my ire because we need natural gas to take us through the energy transition (eliminating coal and petroleum). So I do recognize the importance of natural gas.
