Upstream
We bring capital to assets, and assets to capital.
Funding and acquisition advisory for asset owners; origination, diligence and operational setup for investors.

Midstream
We bring buyers, and the strategy that gets you paid.
Buyers, pricing strategy and contract execution for producers entering the domestic market or optimising exports.

Downstream
We bring the plan from crude slate to pump.
Supply and placement strategy for domestic and regional refiners, from crude slate to product markets.

Gas
We bring the route from flare to revenue.
Route-to-value for flared and stranded gas, and the contracts to sell it: CNG, power, LPG or liquids.
“The continent's oil and gas map is being redrawn end to end. We built Atlantic Margin to work in the gaps that leaves, between capital, capability and execution.”

Who we work with
Three client types, one team across the value chain.
Owners & acquirers
You hold or are acquiring an African asset. We bring the capital, the buyers and the plan to turn it into cash flow.
Investors
You want exposure to African upstream. We bring screened assets, technical truth and a guided path from first look to operations.
Supply & strategy
You need supply, placement or sector strategy. We bring producer relationships, market analysis and execution support.
Why Atlantic Margin
We are structured to deliver things you can bank: capital closed, buyers signed, approvals obtained. The strategy rides on top of that, not instead of it.
On the ground in Nigeria with relationships across the country's operators and regulatory ecosystem, and engagements across the continent.
Senior Shell-trained subsurface, commercial and executive leadership. Real production, reserve and market validation, not desktop summaries.
Cross-border structuring across UAE, Mauritius and UK jurisdictions. Relationships with London M&A boutiques, family offices and project finance.
Clients who raise capital with us stay for marketing; clients who market with us return for growth capital. One team that knows your assets.
