Angola plans to slash concession award times to three months next year, targeting an overhaul of its oil and gas licensing process. The regulatory shift supports a 25-year hydrocarbon strategy designed to reverse production declines in Africa's second-largest crude producer. Faster approvals aim to attract fresh capital from international energy majors currently operating across the region.
