Leveraging its expertise in the African oil and gas industry, leading exploration and production company Petralon Energy will shape discussions around the continent’s upstream sector as a diamond sponsor of this year’s African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energy conference.

With Africa’s hydrocarbon reserves totaling approximately 125.3 billion barrels of crude oil and 620 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas, the continent offers lucrative opportunities for global E&P companies such as Petralon Energy to invest and participate in frontier oil and gas markets.

AEW: Invest in African Energy is the platform of choice operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit www.AECWeek.com for more information about this exciting event.

With interests in PPL 259, where it operates the Dawes Island field in Nigeria, and indirect non-operated interests through Prime Oil and Gas in OML 127 and OML 130 in the country’s deep offshore terrain, Petralon Energy has set out on expansive ambitions to optimize production from both operated and non-operated assets driving production to its full potential, while acquiring, developing and financing  hydrocarbon assets across Africa. As such, investment in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector will become a focal point during this year’s edition of AEW: Invest in African Energy. Participating companies – such as Petralon – are poised to showcase how the country aims to utilize the wealth of resources it has to create a more robust and effective oil and gas industry to help eradicate unemployment and energy poverty.

During AEW 2024, Petralon Energy will also take center stage in celebrating industry excellence by sponsoring the prestigious Africa Energy Awards and the Gala Dinner. These events recognize and honour the remarkable contributions of individuals and organizations that are steering the African energy sector toward a brighter, more sustainable future.

“Having a company with values that demonstrate excellence, responsibility and commitment to energizing Africa participate at AEW falls well within our mandate to make energy poverty history by 2030,” said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, adding, “Participation and investments from companies like Petralon Energy is essential to unlocking new opportunities across the continent’s burgeoning and established energy sectors.”

Ahonsi Unuigbe, CEO of Petralon Energy, added: “Our diamond sponsorship at African Energy Week is a testament to our unwavering commitment to a secure energy future for Africa. We are at a pivotal juncture in our own strategic journey and this event offers an unparalleled platform to share our vision, engage with peers, and forge transformative partnerships that will drive our continent toward an era of energy prosperity. AEW’s mission align with our strategic goals, and we look forward to contributing our insights and experiences to foster an environment that enables energy growth and prosperity across the continent.”

Taking place November 4-8 in Cape Town, AEW: Invest in African Energy unites global investors and project developers with African energy opportunities. Under the theme Energy Growth through an Enabling Environment, the event promotes investment across the African energy value chain with the aim of making energy poverty history by 2030.

Minister of Hydrocarbons of the Republic of Congo Bruno Jean-Richard Itoua will discuss Africa’s gas monetization drive and cross-border collaboration within the sector at the Namibia International Energy Conference (NIEC), taking place in Windhoek on April 23-25.

The Republic of Congo represents one of Africa’s leading crude oil producers, with exploration and production activities concentrated offshore near Pointe-Noire. The country is aiming to double production to 500,000 barrels per day through new and scaled exploration drilling from its leading operators, including Perenco, Eni and TotalEnergies. It also recently launched its first natural gas liquefaction project – Eni’s Congo LNG – marking the country’s foray into LNG exports and gas monetization from the offshore Marine XII block. As a result, Minister Itoua is expected to lead discussions around the future of African energy development, with a focus on gas monetization and its role in securing global energy supplies.

Energy Capital&Power is a strategic partner of the Namibia International Energy Conference (NIEC) – taking place in Windhoek on April 23-25, 2024. The 6th annual conference unites industry leaders, business executives and policymakers to engage in dialogue, exchange ideas, create new partnerships and identify strategies to foster a prosperous energy industry in Namibia and beyond. For more information, please visit https://www.NIEConference.com/

As Namibia gains prominence as a global exploration frontier, NIEC 2024 provides a critical platform to foster intra-African collaboration within the sector and facilitate knowledge sharing and the exchange of best practices. The Republic of Congo has been able to successfully secure billion-dollar foreign investments in developing and monetizing its associated and non-associated gas reserves, with a view to supplying local electricity, generating exports and reducing gas flaring.

“We are honored to gain the participation of Minister Itoua at NIEC 2024, who has been a strong advocate for LNG development and frontier exploration not only in the Republic of Congo, but across the continent. With our sights set on first oil by the end of the decade, Namibia can learn from neighboring African producers when it comes to maximizing the benefits of our resources and prioritizing gas development from the outset of offshore oil production,” says Selma Shimutwikeni, Founder&CEO of RichAfrica Consultancy, conference organizers.
