Africa Oil Week (AOW) Virtual, to be held from 7-8 October 2020, will hold an “Operators’ Strategic Outlook” session where the near-term strategic outlooks for sub-Saharan Africa’s oil and gas sector will be discussed
During the session, Tullow Oil’s most senior representative in Ghana will be updating the delegates on the company’s progress following a turbulent year. Also joining are senior leaders from Chariot Oil and Gas and Kosmos Energy, which recently inked a farmdown agreement for up to US$200mn with Shell to on a portfolio of its exploration assets in Sao Tome & Principe, Suriname, Namibia and South Africa.
Moderating the discussion will be a Dr Valérie Marcel of Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs. This will ensure rigorous analysis of the regional and country-specific challenges and opportunities at the centre of the discussion.
To accompany the session, Africa Oil Week has released the latest in a series of complimentary reports produced alongside its long-standing partner, Wood Mackenzie. Titled “A Major Transition for Sub-Saharan Africa?”, it covers topics including environmental considerations, new SSA gas projects and potential buyers for those African assets the majors are keen to divest.
AOW Virtual is a free to attend online conference aimed at reigniting African oil, gas and energy. The conference will be packed full of strategic outlooks, debates, and a much-anticipated government bidding round. It will offer AOW’s global oil and gas audience a platform to discuss insights, challenges and opportunities post COVID-19.
Hundreds of C-level executives from across the value chain are expected to attend, as well as government representatives from countries including Somalia, The Gambia, South Africa and the USA. Plus, AOW Virtual is CPD certified, so attending sessions will count towards your continuing professional development.
