Energy & Corporate Africa has announced that the Africa Marginal and Independent Oil/Gas producers Conference will hold on August 23 – 24, 2017 at Crowne Plaza, the City, London. According to the organizers, Africa’s prolific geology and the imperative for governments to balance production with economic developments, have given rise to germane need to ensure rapid development of stranded assets, large and marginal fields.
Sir Sunny Oputa, the chief executive officer of Energy & Corporate Africa went further to say that amid new investors’ friendly legislation that encourages participation of indigenous companies in the development of oil and gas assets, and significant divestment of assets by BIG OIL companies in the region, Africa’s oil patch opens up massive opportunities for independent and indigenous companies that are ready to benefit from this emerging new wave of economic buoyancy.
Africa Marginal & Independent Oil/Gas producers Conference will bring together the region’s oil/gas senior government officials, national oil companies, independents, indigenous companies, banks, investors, legislators, and analysts together to share knowledge and also network for the benefits of all concerned.
The conference will showcase available assets both large and marginal, farm-in and other business opportunities through national and company presentations. It will afford deal seekers and decision makers’ grand platform to interact smoothly under same roof. The conference will further articulate on the technical, economic, geopolitical and regulatory challenges impacting the development of large/ marginal assets in the region and will through expert presentations from various companies share knowledge on the experiences of some companies on how they were able to overcome pitfalls.
