Chad nationalizes assets by oil giant Exxon, says government
"Chad's government says its nationalizing all assets for multinational oil giant ExxonMobil, including hydrocarbon and exploration permits. The nationalization of a private company means that all assets are now owned by the government, energy experts say, while this used to happen in the 1960s and 70s, it hasn't happened in a long time, and doesn't conform to the legalities of the sector. Chad began producing oil in 2003 and Exxon has been operating in the country for several decades. It was running the dobo oil project in Chad, of which it owned a 40% stake analysts say the move could scare away investors from West Africa at a time of growing global energy demand and a decline in foreign investments in the African region.
