2023 Advisory Committee

Africa Oil Week is evolving and expanding its Advisory Committee, which links leaders of the pan-African oil and gas sector and gives members a true voice in shaping Africa Oil Week’s agenda and purpose.

The development of cross-disciplinary Advisory committees allows us to identify the goals and ambitions of governments, investors and business in Africa and to shape and develop a programme to further achieve their objectives across the continent – acting as a catalyst to advance partnerships and investment at this critical time for the global oil and gas industry.

Hear What the 2022 Committee Had To Say

Africa Oil Week is an important moment in Perenco's yearly timeline. It is one of the few conferences we decided to participate in. But as we are more actors than followers,  I'd prefer to sit on the advisory committee and help the conference to be a success.

Benoît de la Fouchardière Group General Manager, Perenco

I accepted the opportunity to join the advisory committee because I saw a unique opportunity to contribute to and shape the discourse regarding the continent's oil and gas industry. Especially considering the profound emerging challenges facing many African oil-producing countries due to the energy transition in particular.
