Overview

SPEC originates and structures senior secured notes through an offshore SPV — funding Farm-In and Risk Service Agreement (RSA) transactions with active operators across the African upstream sector.

Each transaction is engineered for capital protection: senior secured collateral, operator alignment, and reserve-based downside coverage. SPEC sits between institutional capital and operator opportunity — disciplined, structured, scalable.
