Ophir Energy plc is a London‐headquartered upstream oil and gas exploration and production company focused on resource opportunities primarily in frontier and emerging basins across Africa and the Asia Pacific. The company seeks to build a balanced portfolio of exploration licenses, development assets and producing fields, leveraging technical expertise in deepwater drilling and subsea engineering to drive sustainable growth.
Ophir’s operations in West Africa include interests in offshore Nigeria, notably the Egina development, and gas projects in Senegal and Mauritania. In the Asia Pacific, the company holds exploration and appraisal assets in Indonesia and Malaysia, where it partners with national oil companies and international operators to advance prospects from seismic evaluation through to final investment decision.
The company’s activities span the full upstream cycle, from geological assessment and drilling to field development and production. Ophir places particular emphasis on gas monetization, exemplified by its stake in the Fortuna floating LNG facility off Cameroon, alongside oil production assets that benefit from established offtake agreements and long‐term service contracts.
Founded in 2004 by Torstein Hole, Ophir Energy has grown under a management team experienced in frontier exploration and field development, with Ian Middlemiss serving as Chief Executive. The company’s ordinary shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange and its American Depositary Receipts trade on the OTC Markets under the ticker OPGYF.
