PANEL DISCUSSION: Securing Global Energy Demand with Africa’s Resources

According to various industry estimations, oil will peak around 2040 – possibly reaching 114 million barrels per day – but the international community will continue to require hydrocarbons as we transition into year 2050. This being the case, how can African countries adapt to remain competitive and position their upstream markets as the supply base of choice?

What makes Africa a viable global energy supplier and how can it improve its global strategic positioning by 2050?
To what extent does the carbon profile of African markets weigh into investment decisions?
What is the future for frontier oil and gas markets given the global drive to low carbon futures?
How can non-producing nations attract investment into exploration?
Thinking beyond upstream – how cangovernments and E&P companies can support the delivery of integrated value chains from oil to refinery/petrochemicals and gas to power/industries?
