  • Is there oil in Mali?
  • Mali's Taoudeni basin has seen increased oil exploration activity since 2004. Recent instability and the threat to oil wells has prompted foreign military powers to intervene. Mali and oil are as complex as it can get. Though mineral rich, the landlocked country has no- established- oil or gas reserves worth commercial exploitation.
  • What is the history of oil exploration in Mali?
  • Moderate oil exploration took place in Mali until 1983 when the Taoudeni Basin was declared "burnt out" by the exploration company Esso. During the seventies and early eighties, more than 9,000 kilometers of exploration through 2D-seismic studies was undertaken in the country.
  • Is Mali a game changer for oil and gas?
  • Mali and oil are as complex as it can get. Though mineral rich, the landlocked country has no- established- oil or gas reserves worth commercial exploitation. Still, the 'unexplored' aspect of the country lends it gravitas as the potential for oil and gas is very promising and could well be a game changer.
  • Does Niger export oil to Mali?
  • Oil product imports have tripled since 2010, reaching 1.9 Mt in 2021. In September 2022, Niger stopped exporting oil products to Mali. In 2020, the average electricity tariff reached XOF101/kWh (+2% compared to 2019, US$16.6c/kWh) and the average residential electricity tariff reached XOF105/kWh (stable, US$17.3c/kWh).
