Benin

Akrake Petroleum SA, a subsidiary of Rex International Holding, secured a 76% interest in Benin's Block 1, Sèmè Field in 2023. The offshore Sèmè Field, discovered in 1969 and previously developed by Saga Petroleum, covers 551 sq km in shallow waters. Production was halted in 1998 due to low oil prices. There are plans to revive production, using Rex’s cost-effective jack-up Mobile Production Unit (MOPU) and Floating Storage Unit (FSO) system, which has been tried and tested with success in the Yumna Field in Oman.

Technology-based subsidiaries

The Group’s ethos has always been rooted in technology and scientific innovation. Rex’s technology-based subsidiaries include Xer Technologies Pte Ltd, which is in the heavy-duty commercial drone business, and Rex Virtual Drilling, the Group’s proprietary liquid hydrocarbon indicator, with which the Group uses to de-risk its portfolio of oil & gas exploration and development assets.
