Jeniks Group[edit]

Since its founding in 2011, Jeniks Energy Group has always kept an eye on the wider picture within the oil and gas industry. It's interesting to note that by selecting to collaborate with a worldwide gas investment firm that has a strategic gas reserve and aggregation investment contract as well as representation for Qataris, the Group—which has key hubs in Ghana, Kenya, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)—appears to have advanced in time.[9]

Nonetheless, the business will serve as the focal point of the new accord in Africa, having finalized a plan for the gradual rollout last year.[10][11][12]
