PANEL DISCUSSION: New Frontiers, Independents Activities in Africa

As Africa's oil and gas industry continues to evolve, independent operators play a growing role in shaping the continent's E&P future. This panel session will delve into the geological outlook, technical commitments and work programmes, and the below-ground risks that independent operators face in Africa. With a focus on emerging trends and challenges, our executive panelists will provide insights into the opportunities and strategies that can drive successful operations in Africa.
Key areas for discussion:  

Geological Outlook: What are the most promising geological formations in Africa for independent operators, and how are advancements in geoscience influencing exploration strategies?

Technical Commitments: How can independent operators balance the need for innovative technology with the financial constraints typical of smaller players in the oil and gas sector?

Risk Management: What are the primary below-ground risks (e.g., reservoir quality, subsurface stability) encountered by independent operators, and what strategies are being employed to mitigate these risks?

Future Prospects: How do independent operators perceive the future of Africa's oil and gas sector, particularly in terms of regulatory changes, market dynamics, and investment opportunities?
