Meren Energy (TSX:MER) is preparing to accelerate investment in Nigeria after a deliberate pause in drilling, with two rigs expected to drive fresh activity through 2027. CEO Dr Oliver Quinn explains why lower third-quarter production masks stronger financial performance, how Akpo Far East could unlock additional barrels and why the 150-million-barrel Preowei discovery is moving towards a potential investment decision. He also outlines the significance of Namibia’s Venus project, where Meren’s interest could deliver decades of cash flow without the company funding its share of development costs through to first oil.
