There’s lots of compelling reasons for countries to encourage domestic exploration for gas:
There’s less GHG emissions if customers in the country use gas from the country, rather than imported LNG.
The ‘balance of payments’ is better if a country’s money is spent in the country!
Big steps are being made with Carbon Capture & Storage, leading to a time when gas production/power supply is decarbonised, directly or via hydrogen, or indirectly as offsets.
More broadly, regional gas production will support eg Sub-Saharan Africa in lifting hundreds of millions of people out of Energy Poverty.
This webinar will look at basins that offer the potential for new gas discoveries, either as a boost for an existing Super Basin or in the creation of a new one – think of offshore Mauretania and Senegal for example.
