CAPE TOWN, South Africa - March 26, 2015 - PRLog -- The 22nd Africa Oil Week 2015 provides an event of rich-content with highest quality, first-class networking and social interface, with multiple opportunities for all to create and cement relationships that will shape the future for oil and gas in Africa, and the economic future of the Continent.

Global Pacific & Partners and ITE Group plc are pleased to invite you to join us for the 22nd Anniversary Africa Oil Week/Africa Upstream Conference 2015, the longest-running and most prominent event held worldwide in or on the Continent for its fast-growing oil, gas-LNG and energy industry, taking place 26th-30th October 2015 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.

Once again, including this year’s 13th Africa Independents Forum 2015, the 17th Scramble for Africa: Strategy Briefing, and our 4-day 22nd Africa Upstream 2015 format, we welcome our blue-chip suite of world-class sponsors, an unrivalled spectrum of top-line speakers, a globally-diversified mix of senior-level government and corporate delegates, plus a much larger dedicated industry Safari Park Exhibition than ever before,

The occasion includes our Inaugural Africa Oil & Energy Finance Forum, the 72nd PetroAfricanus Dinner in Africa (with Guest Speaker: Dr Peter Dolan, Founder and Advisor, Ophir Energy), along with special meetings on Africa Local Content, Africa Exploration Technologies, Young Professionals in Africa, the Global Women Petroleum & Energy Club Luncheon (with Guest Speaker Cath Norman, Managing Director, FAR Ltd), our 3rd Africa’s Hydrocarbon Arguments Discourse, the 20th Anniversary Luncheon for the African Institute of Petroleum, alongside our 19th Annual Board Awards and Africa’s Oil Legend Ceremony, in tribute to those who have “made” Africa’s oil-gas game.

The Continent continues to attract a steady stream of corporate oil and gas commitments – just as has this landmark Conference, one a symbiotic driver of the other, shapes the future in Africa’s oil and gas.

Indeed, inside the world oil-gas game, Africa stands apart: with its enormous underdeveloped resource endowment, large conventional oil and gas reserves, oil/gas discovery track record, sizeable untapped unconventional energy endowments, vast offshore littorral, huge Exclusive Economic Zones (barely explored or drilled), substantial array of countries offering numerous exploration blocks and bid rounds, wide variety of onshore/ offshore geo-technical plays, sizeable new venture potential, with quality deal flow for farmins/outs available, plus a growing secondary asset market, increased listings on stock exchanges for oil counters, global interest from all other continents in African energy plays and opportunities, a fast-growing oil/gas-energy investment profile, and rising numbers of private and public companies both in-place and entering Africa’s oil game.

Global Pacific & Partners has an established and trusted track record for over three decades in quality research, advisory practice, strategy briefings, Conferences, Government Roadshows, Private Client mandates and corporate services designed with Africa-wide state relationships, global communications, media products and social connectivity networks.
