South Africa does not have significant proven oil and gas reserves and produces oil and gas from coal and imported crude oil. The relative underutilization of gas results from the country's abundant coal resources that allowed South Africa to produce petroleum and by-products and electricity cheaply from coal. However, declining coal resources and the relative cost of coal-produced electricity and oil in financial and environmental terms will see South Africa diversify its energy mix, which is already underway.

Should offshore and onshore shale gas exploration prove successful, South Africa will have a localizedoil and gas supply to enable and promote the diversification of the country's energy mix.South Africa has significant potential for unconventional gas discovery in the form of Coal Bed Methane and Shale Gas, ranked 8th and 12th globally.
