India eyes Africa’s oil

India will seek cooperation with oil-rich African countries in the hydrocarbon sector, senior official with the Indian Petroleum Ministry Talwiz Ahmad said here Tuesday.

“Africa presents a huge opportunity for us as it is estimated to hold over 9 percent of the world’s reserves, most of which are still undiscovered. We want to participate more in Nigeria, Angola and some of the other west African countries,” Ahmad said at India’s Country Presentation at the ongoing 18th World Petroleum Congress.
