Offshore Africa – A Return to Frontier Exploration

With Emma Woodward & Jimmy Boulter

Refreshments will be available

2020 promises to be an exciting year for oil and gas exploration in Africa, with a number of high impact new-field wildcat wells planned across multiple basins. This presentation will look at major recent discoveries and key upcoming wells, trends in acreage acquisitions, as well as legislative changes and other above ground risks that are helping/hindering IOCS activity; focusing on the frontier areas that will be the driver of future industry growth on the continent.
