Equatorial Guinea capital-intensive projects open for investment in 2020 said Gabriel Obiang, minister for mines and hydrocarbons.

The capital- intensive projects include the construction of three oil refineries, liquefied petroleum gas strategic tanks, a Urea plant and the expansion of a compressed natural gas project.
