The global Corona Virus pandemic coupled with low oil prices as a result of he Saudi-Russia production showdown are hitting oil companies hard. Share prices have plummeted and operations in some quarters are being stymied as these companies try to comply with best practices in social distancing to help stop the spread.

This pandemic and oil production war have hit share prices hard and some independent companies may have difficulty surviving the ongoing situation. Just a few examples of the share price crash from those firms operating in Africa are particularly concerning. Below we have listed an example of those companies operating in the African continent, listed on different global exchanges:

Panoro Energy  – 52 week high 2.49 EUR    –  March 17 2020  0.47 EUR
