Liberia is preparing to explore its offshore oil resources more actively by improving its infrastructure and regulations. International companies, like TotalEnergies and BluEnergies, are working on projects to assess potential drilling sites in the Harper Basin. To support this, Liberia is modernizing its ports and expanding its petroleum storage capacity. The National Port Authority is implementing a plan to enhance the efficiency and safety of its ports, including a partnership with France to improve operations. Additionally, the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company has built a new gasoline storage tank and is planning a larger facility to ensure better fuel security and distribution as exploration activities increase. On the regulatory side, Liberia is strengthening its petroleum governance by collaborating with Ghana's Petroleum Commission to share knowledge and improve oversight. This will help local workers and businesses get involved in the oil sector as it grows. Overall, these efforts are laying a strong foundation for Liberia's offshore oil industry as it moves toward exploration and potential drilling in the coming years.
