Africa Oil & Power offers new take on energy conferences

The inaugural Africa Oil & Power conference, taking place on 6-7 June 2016 at the Westin Hotel in Cape Town, will be the first energy conference with panels made up exclusively of African oil and gas ministers and heads of national companies. The invitation-only event has been endorsed by the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy of Equatorial Guinea and is set to be hosted by Centurion Law Firm.

The goal of Africa Oil & Power will be to maximise networking and transaction-making opportunities. The event will provide sponsors and delegates with Deal Rooms and speed networking and matchmaking sessions based on common interests.

The debate panel format will draw together key decision makers from select countries in an unscripted setting. Much of the content will be framed around what the industry has done to adjust to a sustained climate of low oil prices and keeping projects on track. The June 6 program will feature a Market Spotlight on Equatorial Guinea with project and investment opportunities presented by government and industry leadership.

Already confirmed as speakers are H.E Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima, Minister of Mines, Industry and Energy of Equatorial Guinea; H.E. Etienne Dieudonné Ngoubou, Minister of Petroleum and Hydrocarbons of Gabon; Alex Mould, CEO of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation; and Nick Cooper, CEO of Ophir Energy.
