Follow on Google News | Southern African Oil and Gas Market will see capex of $18.55bn in 2015 says new visiongain reportBy: visiongain 
vg Southern Africa is the single largest region of Africa, a region that includes a diverse range of economies all at varying stages in terms of oil and gas industry development. OPEC member Angola and newcomer Namibia on the West coast are set to increase oil and gas production over the coming years with the continuing exploitation of pre-salt reserves. Mozambique and Tanzania are set to rapidly increase gas production to cater for burgeoning domestic and regional demand for gas-to-power facilities, as well as a desire to supply the resource-hungry economies of Southern Asia via LNG exports. South Africa is looking to expand its offshore operations, boosted by successes off its Western coast, as well as hoping to expand onshore shale gas development in the Karoo Basin to supply the needs of the region’s economies. Lastly, Madagascar is set to become one of the world’s most exciting emerging oil producers, and is currently vying for foreign capital along with other countries in the region to develop its large onshore, heavy oil and oil sands reserves over the coming decade. The lead analyst of the report commented that: “The year 2014-15 has proved itself to be an exciting year for Southern Africa. Several up and coming producers are set to change the role that Africa as a whole will play in providing global oil and gas supplies. The most interesting developments in the region include the development of oil and gas fields offshore Namibia, the continuing rise of Mozambique and Tanzania as future major gas producers and the potential of Madagascar to exploit its heavy oil reserves. There is no doubt that the oil price collapse has changed the outlook for many global producers, but it is important to note that, in Southern Africa, the industry is still very active. The diversity of supply and the range of new opportunities for both conventional and non-conventional oil and gas have meant that companies are still looking to invest in the region over the coming decade.” The market has been broken down into two main submarkets: upstream exploration & development capex and midstream infrastructure capex, which are broken down further by category of spending.
