Webinar
Online

It's very exciting to contemplate the reemergence of offshore oil & gas, especially deep water, with momentous decisions to be taken in corporate offices in Houston, London, Stavanger, Paris etc, as enthusiastically greeted here:

but I'm not sure that solving 'energy poverty' in Africa by supplying gas to needy domestic markets sits at the top of the Majors' priorities - I hope they will prove me wrong!

Maybe onshore E&P in Sub-Saharan Africa offers a way forward, and this will be the focus of our two Sub-Saharan webinars during 1H 2024.

This is the 1st of them and it focuses on southern Africa onshore, especially Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, perhaps Zambia, with companies such as ReCon Africa, Monitor Exploration, Invictus Energy active:
