the Unitisation Agreement for the Yoyo–Yolanda gas field

Acting on the high instructions of the President of the Republic, His Excellency Mr. Paul BIYA, the Minister of Mines, Industry and Technological Development (ai), Professor FUH CALISTUS GENTRY, has been on a working visit to the Republic of Equatorial Guinea since 1 February 2026.

The primary purpose of this visit is the signing of the Unitisation Agreement for the Yoyo–Yolanda gas field, a transboundary gas deposit shared between the locality of Yoyo in the Republic of Cameroon and Yolanda in the Republic of Equatorial Guinea.

The first day of activities included a visit to the Punta Europa natural gas refinery, one of Central Africa’s major industrial hubs. The facility hosts a hydrocarbons terminal and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant that exports gas from the Alba and Alen fields.

The complex also processes gas for export in the form of LNG, condensates, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and methanol.

Upon arrival, the Minister, accompanied by the Director of Mines of Cameroon, was received by the Secretary General of Equatorial Guinea’s Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons, the Ambassador of Cameroon to the country, and several other officials.
