The Coronavirus outbreak has disrupted the global industries in every sector. The immediate changes are also affecting the sectors immensely and affecting the global economy. Disruption of the economy can no longer be ignored as the breakdown is leading to a degradation in the lifestyle of people. The effect of the pandemic is seen in every sector across the world. The oil industry is experiencing major drawbacks as the pandemic prolongs. The industry is not only having a decline in the demand of fuel but also other energy resources. The fall in the oil prices which were reported in the year 2020 adds more to the difficulties faced by the petroleum sector. The oilfield sector in the southern part of Africa is much weakened with almost a total shutdown of all means of transport and the dependence at more than 98% on the importation of petroleum products. Also, the historic agreement to cut global oil production has implemented pressure on a global level. Like all the other continents, the whole of Africa and the southern region of Africa in particular (South Africa, Angola, Comoros, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi) is suffering the roundups of this pandemic in the oilfield sector. The current article illustrates the effect of COVID-19 in oilfield sector in Southern region of Africa.
