Trump's AI Chip Deal Could Open China Market to Downgraded Blackwell

President Donald Trump has authorised Nvidia and AMD to resume limited sales of artificial intelligence chips to China, marking a significant shift in U. S. trade policy. The agreement allows the companies to sell specific AI chips in exchange for a 15% revenue share paid to the U. S. government. This move deviates from previous strategies aimed at restricting China's access to advanced semiconductors due to national security concerns. The deal includes Nvidia's H20 chip and AMD's MI308, both intentionally downgraded for export. However, the Trump administration is considering extending this arrangement to Nvidia's more advanced Blackwell chips, albeit in a scaled-down form. Even with a 30%–50% performance reduction, these chips would still outperform China's domestic alternatives, potentially giving Nvidia and AMD a competitive edge in the Chinese market. Chinese authorities have responded cautiously to the deal. The Cyberspace Administration of China has cautioned major domestic tech firms, including Tencent, ByteDance, and Baidu, over their purchases of Nvidia's H20 AI chips, expressing concerns about national security and data privacy. The government has advised against using these chips in government-related projects and, in some cases, ordered a suspension of purchases. ADVERTISEMENT Despite these concerns, demand for the chips remains high due to their superior performance. Nvidia has emphasized that the H20 is not a military or government-focused product, noting that China does not rely on U. S. chips for official uses. The company is also preparing to launch a new artificial intelligence chip for the Chinese market at a significantly reduced price compared to its previously restricted H20 model. The upcoming GPU, part of Nvidia's latest Blackwell-architecture AI chips, is expected to cost between $6,500 and $8,000, making it substantially lower than the H20's price tag of $10,000 to $12,000. The Trump administration's decision to allow the sale of these downgraded chips represents a significant shift from the previous administration's approach to semiconductor exports. While the move has been welcomed by Nvidia and AMD, it has raised concerns among some lawmakers and analysts about the potential erosion of national security safeguards and the risks of enabling Chinese progress in AI.

Tullow's Gabon Exit Highlights Rising Role of African Firms in Upstream Sector

Tullow Oil has finalized the sale of its non-operated interests in Gabon to Gabon Oil Company (GOC) for $307 million, marking a strategic portfolio shift for the UK-based independent and a notable development for Gabon's energy sector. The transaction transfers Tullow's remaining production interests – estimated to contribute approximately 10,000 barrels per day in 2025 – to the state-owned company and concludes over two decades of Tullow's presence in the country. The African Energy Chamber (AEC) supports this transaction, viewing it as a constructive milestone for Africa's oil and gas sector. While international companies remain essential to the development of the continent's energy resources, the AEC sees the growing operational capacity of national and regional firms as a sign of a maturing sector – one that increasingly encourages balanced partnerships between foreign and local players. 'This deal is not just about asset transfers, but about momentum,' says NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the AEC. 'African companies are stepping up, taking on more responsibility, and proving their ability to manage complex upstream operations. It shows the value of partnership and long-term investment in building capacity on the continent.' Rather than a retreat from foreign participation, the deal underscores the potential for new kinds of collaboration – where African national oil companies (NOCs) are not just resource holders but active participants with operational and commercial expertise. GOC, which has steadily expanded its portfolio since its establishment in 2011, is among a growing group of African NOCs taking on greater roles in the day-to-day management of assets. Tullow, for its part, views the sale as a key step in focusing on its core operated assets in Ghana and Ivory Coast while strengthening its balance sheet. Proceeds from the transaction will go toward repaying the company's $150 million revolving credit facility, helping improve financial resilience and allowing Tullow to pursue a more streamlined investment strategy. As the energy landscape in Africa evolves, deals like this one signal increased dynamism within the sector. Indigenous and national companies are becoming more confident and capable participants, while foreign investors continue to find value in working alongside local partners who bring deep market knowledge, regional networks and a long-term commitment to development. The AEC maintains that this balanced model – where African and international firms grow together – will be key to the continent's future energy success.

Positioning Youth at the Forefront of Africa's Energy Future: African Energy Chamber (AEC) Endorses Youth in Oil & Gas Summit 2025

With first oil production on the horizon in Namibia, the country is on track for rapid growth across its oil, gas and broader energy sectors. This highlights a strategic opportunity for the country's youth, and the upcoming Youth in Oil&Gas Summit – taking place July 25-26, 2025, in Walvis Bay – seeks to position young professionals at the forefront of Namibia's energy development. Held under the theme Drilling into the Future: Empowering Youth in Namibia's Oil&Gas Revolution, the second edition of the Youth in Oil&Gas Summit represents a vital platform for advancing youth-led innovation and inclusion. Offering a vibrant platform for dialogue, education and strategic collaboration, the summit provides an opportunity for meaningful engagement between youth and energy leaders, thereby positioning youth at the helm of Namibia's energy future. The African Energy Chamber (AEC) – representing the voice of the African energy sector – offers its full support and endorsement of the upcoming summit. As a strong advocate for the role youth play in the oil and gas sector, the AEC considers this a vital platform for enhancing collaboration, fostering dialogue and advancing projects. The Youth in Oil&Gas Summit comes at a critical time for Namibia's oil and gas industry. Having emerged as one of the world's most promising frontiers, the country has witnessed a series of exploration success across its offshore market in recent years. The country is on track for first oil production by 2029, led by the TotalEnergies-operated Venus field, which anticipates a final investment decision in 2026. Other projects such as the Galp-led Mopane development are also driving this production timeline. The company has made a string of discoveries at its exploration wells at the Mopane field – situated in PEL 93 -, with the latest made in February 2025. These discoveries have revealed the potential of over 10 billion barrels of oil. Additional exploration campaigns in the Orange basin include in PEL 85, where energy company Rhino Resources is exploring. Energy services firm Halliburton announced the delivery of two exploration wells at Block 2914 in PEL 85 in May 2025. This follows a discovery made by Rhino Resources at the Capricornus-1X well in April 2025 and the confirmation of a hydrocarbon reservoir at the Sagittarius-1X well in February 2025. Other players such as Stamper Oil&Gas Corp and Pancontinental are also pursuing exploration projects, with interests in the Orange basin's Block 2712A and PEL 87, respectively. Beyond the Orange basin, Stamper Oil&Gas Corp secured stakes in Block 2914B in the Lüderitz Basin in 2025, as well as Blocks 2213, Block 2011B and Block 2111A in the Walvis Basin. The Lüderitz asset is situated in the southern part of the basin, with drilling expected to start in 2025. Energy major Chevron also acquired an 80% operating stake in Blocks 2112B and 2212A in the Walvis Basin, highlighting the level of global interest in Namibian assets. The country is also accelerating the development of the Kudu gas field – spearheaded by BW Energy. The field is situated in PEL 003 and, following completion, will be a key gas-to-power project in Namibia, utilizing a floating production unit to harness gas resources from the Kudu prospect. An appraisal well is set to be spud in late 2025, targeting the Kharaas Prospect in the north-west section of the Kudu formation. Namibia is also making a strong play for onshore exploration, with campaigns led by energy company ReconAfrica. With stakes in the onshore Kavango basin, ReconAfrica is advancing its 2024 drilling campaign, targeting 3.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil in the Damara Fold Belt. Preparations are underway to spud a second exploration well. The company has since raised C$18 million to finance exploration activities, including drilling the Kavango West 1X well. The well targets 346 million barrels of gross unrisked prospective crude oil and 1,839 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Drilling is set to commence after rig mobilization – planned for June/July 2025, pending final permits. These exploration campaigns have not only unlocked opportunities for domestic oil and gas production, but highlighted the level of commercial opportunity available in Namibia's oil and gas sector. Beyond upstream, the country is also aligning investments with broader goals of enhancing fuel security through modernized infrastructure. Notably, Nigeria's Dangote Refinery is expected to construct a 1.6-million-barrel fuel storage facility in Namibia. A tripartite agreement was also signed between the Namibian ports Authority and the respective national oil companies of Angola and Namibia to establish an integrated logistics base in Namibia. These introduce strategic opportunities for youth across the entire oil and gas value chain and the upcoming Youth in Oil&Gas Summit will outline opportunities, challenges and potential collaborations. 'This is our opportunity to promote youth and encourage them to be drivers of the future. Namibia is on track for rapid growth across its oil and gas, but without youth, it will fail to unlock the full potential of the sector. This is the time to establish mechanisms that encourage participation, foster inclusion and place collaboration at the forefront of development,' states NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the AEC.
