Energy investment with African roots

We mobilise international capital to develop and add value to the oil and gas resources of Portuguese-speaking Africa.

Who we are

International capital, African knowledge

Thunder Oil Investment L.L.C is an investment company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, dedicated to acquiring interests in oil and natural gas projects and to setting up and managing companies in the energy sector.

We combine access to international capital with in-depth knowledge of Angola and Mozambique to build long-term partnerships with national oil companies and operators.

The company is wholly owned by Angolan partners with backgrounds in finance and oil. This combination of a presence in an international financial centre and roots on the ground allows us to structure investments that serve the interests of the State, operators and investors alike.

  • Headquartered in Abu Dhabi: one of the world's leading financial and energy centres.
  • Angolan partners: experience in public finance, banking and oil.
  • Clear focus: oil in Angola and natural gas in Mozambique.
