During this pandemic, the nation's oil production dropped by around 26,000 barrels per day (b/d) in 2020, which brought down the cumulative production to 154,000 b/d due to operational interruptions at oil fields. Factors such as supportive government policies and increasing stability in the country are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

The increasing political stability in the country is expected to attract several new investments in the oil and gas upstream sector, thus driving the market during the forecast period.
