Angola's National Oil Company (SONANGOL) has reached a daily production of 100,000 barrels this year, against its 7,000 barrels daily output in 1976 when it started activity.

The information was released Thursday by SONANGOL press officer, Jose Rosa Santos, who added this progress represents a leap forward and reflects the evolution of the company over the years.

He said as well that the 100,000 barrels a day represents a special goal as it is the result of a hard work by Angolan technicians over the last 30 years.

In order to reach the figure above mentioned, the officer said, the company invested in providing specialty training to its personnel.

Within the framework of the information technologies, he said, SONANGOL, through its subsidiary, Mstelcom, is investing in products of the most modern generation, such as satellite voice, fax and data telecommunication systems.

In addition to Mstelcom, the group comprises subsidiaries in the fields of research and production, logistics, distribution and natural gas.
