According to the Lakeland CEO, “Namibia, Chad and Suriname are the other areas the company is looking at investing a further $3bn (three billion US Dollars)”.

He said $1bn would be invested in Guyana, $3bn in Namibia, Chad and Suriname, $500m in an ongoing Refinery project, and $1.5bn in an FLNG project.
