BENIN

BENIN (in West Africa)	CAPITAL: PORTO-NOVO POPULATION: 8 mm AREA (on): 112,600 km² OIL PEAK: 1985
SUPPLY Benin, along with Togo, has an offshore area underlain by the Benin basin. Two shallow water fields have been developed, one of which (Seme) is still producing. Output peaked back in 1985 although some modest new production may be realised from 2010. Deepwaters are being explored but no new production is forecast. There is no gas or onshore production in the country and no new output is forecast. DEMAND Benin uses modest amounts of oil, most of which is imported. Oil consumption will remain flat although gas use is likely to begin, substituting for oil where possible, imported from largely Nigeria along the West African pipeline.
