Energy & Corporate Africa has announced that the Africa Marginal and Independent Oil/Gas producers Conference will hold from August 23 – 24, 2017, at the Crowne Plaza, in London.
According to the organisers, 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.
Chief Executive Officer, Energy & Corporate Africa, Sunny Oputa, noted that 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.
This comes amid new investor 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.
He said 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 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.
