    Energy — oil & gas in Morocco.

    A focused read drawn from Saga's full Morocco country profile — operators, the technical opportunity, and the corridor.

    Energy — oil & gas

    Domestic production is modest and gas-led. The state agency ONHYM (Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines) holds the state interest in all licences and partners with independents onshore and offshore.

    The activity that matters today:

    • Onshore gas in the east — Tendrara and surrounding licences, developed to supply domestic industry and power.
    • Gharb Basin — small, shallow onshore gas fields feeding local industrial customers, with ongoing infill drilling.
    • Offshore Atlantic — the Lixus licence (Anchois gas discovery) is being matured towards development, with gas-to-power as the anchor market.
    • Gas infrastructure — the Maghreb–Europe pipeline now runs in reverse flow, and LNG import capacity is being planned to secure supply for power and industry.

    For Saga's technology portfolio this means: small, cost-sensitive gas fields where well stimulation, integrity and intervention technology can lift output per well — on new wells from day one as well as on mature ones. Every additional domestic molecule displaces an imported one.
