Upstream E&P

Exploration, Development & Production

Delta International Energy's foundation lies in upstream oil and gas — the identification, evaluation, and development of hydrocarbon resources in frontier and emerging basins worldwide.

Basin evaluation using seismic analysis, DHI, AVO attribute analysis, and geochemical studies
EPSA structuring with sovereign governments and national oil companies
Multi-phase field development — from seismic through exploratory wells and full development
Consortium formation and management alongside major IOCs, NOCs, and independents
Portfolio management across multiple basins, geographies, and play types
Track Record

AIOC founding membership (ACG fields — 4.6 Bn bbl) · Centurion Energy Egypt (40,000 BOEPD) · Uganda Albertine Graben (1,000+ MMBBL P10 certified) · Afghanistan Amu Darya & Kushka-Tirput Basins (~16 TCF) · Venezuela Barinas-Apure Basin (2.3 TCF recoverable gas)

Capability 02

Midstream

Gas Pipelines, Infrastructure & Transit Systems

Delta possesses the capability to structure, finance, and develop large-scale midstream gas infrastructure — a critical competency as its current portfolio increasingly centers on gas-rich basins.

Cross-border gas pipeline development — design, financing, implementation
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) structuring — dedicated midstream SPVs
Gas supply and offtake agreement negotiation
LNG export infrastructure — liquefaction terminals
Pipeline tariff and revenue modeling
Track Record

Afghanistan national gas pipeline network — 3 major export corridors + 4 domestic corridors + Gwadar LNG Terminal (total CAPEX: USD 13–18 Bn)

03
Capability 03

Downstream

Gas Monetization, Power, LNG & Refining

Delta approaches downstream as an integral component of its integrated value chain — ensuring that upstream production and midstream transportation are anchored by secure, value-maximizing offtake.

Gas-to-power development — CCGT power plants
LNG production and export — liquefaction facilities
Refinery integration — crude into higher-value refined products
Fertilizer and industrial gas supply
Domestic gas distribution — community and utility networks
Track Record

Afghanistan — 900 MW CCGT gas power cluster (3 × 300 MW phases) · Venezuela Barrancas — Termobarrancas 450 MW + 50,000 BPD refinery + 1 MTPA LNG export

Capability 04

Financial Engineering

Project Structuring & Capital Mobilization

Delta has developed a distinctive capability in structuring complex, multi-layered investment vehicles that mobilize large-scale capital — often without requiring upfront sovereign investment.

Project finance — debt/equity optimization (65–70% / 30–35%)
PSA design — royalties, cost recovery, profit sharing, R-factor frameworks
Phased capital deployment — investment gate structures
Project-based equity fund raising from institutions and sovereign wealth
Return optimization — IRR, NPV, equity multiples, payback
Track Record

Centurion Energy ~20x return · Venezuela Barrancas projected IRR 74.6%, 7.4x equity multiple, ~25-month payback · Uganda Albertine projected IRR 24–30% at $80/bbl · Afghanistan midstream projected Equity IRR 18–25%

Geopolitical Navigation

Government Relations & Sovereign Partnership

Delta's most differentiated capability is its ability to operate with confidence and credibility at the intersection of energy, politics, and sovereign diplomacy.

Direct access to Ministries of Energy, NOCs, and heads of government
Host-government partnership structuring aligned with national priorities
Regulatory navigation across Soviet-era PSAs and emerging investment law
No-upfront-capital investment models
Track Record

AIOC "Contract of the Century" (Azerbaijan, 1994) · Sonatrach engagement — Algeria (2023) · SECA — Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (2026) · PDVSA Gas License framework — Venezuela
