PAC Capital Limited (“PAC Capital”), the investment banking arm of Pan-African Capital Holdings, is thrilled to announce the successful completion of a US$443 million Acquisition Facility for Etu Energias. This milestone deal involves the acquisition of Galp’s stake in Block 32, Block 14, and Block 14K offshore Angola. This transaction follows the recent completion of a US$3.3 billion pre-export facility in Nigeria by PAC Capital.
Humphrey Oriakhi, Managing Director of PAC Capital, expressed his excitement about the deal: “This transaction provides the opportunity for another African company to make inroads into these strategic assets, previously dominated by International Oil Companies (IOCs), thereby giving a significant advantage for majority stakes.”

We are proud to have facilitated this landmark transaction.”
The acquisition transaction, which was finalized on the sidelines of the 31st Afreximbank Annual Meetings (AAM) and the 3rd AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF) in Nassau, Bahamas, includes Galp’s 5% non-operating stake in Block 32, 9% non-operating stake in Block 14, and 4.5% non-operating stake in Block 14K.
“The close collaboration between the different parties was fundamental to the success of this business, which represents Etu Energias’ entry into deepwater oil production. The conclusion of this Transaction demonstrates the resilience of our company and represents a huge step in our strategy to build a profitable and diversified portfolio.” said Edson R. Dos Santos, Etu Energias´s Chairman, and CEO, who extended his deep appreciation for the support and role of PAC Capital’s in the deal: “PAC Capital’s expertise and dedication were instrumental in securing this acquisition. Their skillful strategic fund arrangement ensured the successful closure of this complex transaction, positioning us to become a leading player in Angola’s oil and gas sector.”
This acquisition significantly enhances Angola’s energy security by empowering local companies to own strategic petroleum assets, thereby strengthening the nation’s energy sector. It marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing effort to boost local participation and leadership in the oil and gas industry in Angola.
