The Prospects Forum will be moderated and animated by African investment and commodities research agency Hawilti (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawilti.com\/\">www.Hawilti.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>By working together, Africa Oil Week and Hawilti have lined up a series of world-class assets across onshore, shallow water, and deep-water areas in Nigeria, Cameroon, Morocco, Namibia, and the Comoros. The Prospects Forum will once again support deal-making for African and global operators and help unlock additional exploration and development potential on the continent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This year&rsquo;s edition takes place as Africa makes a huge comeback on the global exploration stage following world-class discoveries in C&ocirc;te d&#039;Ivoire and Namibia notably. Recent exploration in these frontier markets has demonstrated once again that betting on African exploration is a game worth the risk.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Despite a few deceptions, 2022 remains an exceptional year for African exploration, especially in new hotspots like the Orange Basin and the Cabora Bassa Basin, but also in established jurisdictions,&rdquo; said Mickael Vogel, Director &amp; Head of Research at Hawilti, who will be moderating this year&rsquo;s Prospects Forum. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Nigerian assets will feature prominently as Nigerian independents such as Asharami Energy, Oando Energy Resources, and Platform Petroleum pitch their opportunities within Africa&rsquo;s largest brownfield market. Nigeria has completely overhauled its regulatory regime last year with the adoption of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), and market activity is currently picking up there.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Onshore assets will also be presented, especially in markets where exploration has recently delivered some strong successes. Genel Energy will notably be presenting a farm-in opportunity on its Lagzira Block in Morocco, while Monitor Exploration will share details on the potential of the Owambo Basin onshore Namibia.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This year&rsquo;s Prospects Forum will be exclusively driven by independents, with Discover Exploration and Tower Resources also joining the list of presenters to promote attractive offshore assets in Cameroon and the Comoros.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>By tapping into current industry momentum, the Forum will once again seek to forge new partnerships and attract top explorers and investors into African opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bookings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To learn more about how you can get involved, whether to exhibit, sponsor, or attend as a delegate, click here (<a href=\"https:\/\/africa-oilweek.com\/\">https:\/\/Africa-OilWeek.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><i>Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Africa Oil Week.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Contacts:<\/strong><br \/>\nMelita Manser<br \/>\nGroup Account Director, AOW at Ogilvy PR South Africa<br \/>\nMobile: +27 76 449 1271<br \/>\nE-mail: <a href=\"mailto:Melita.Manser@ogilvy.co.za\">Melita.Manser@ogilvy.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Paul Sinclair<br \/>\nVice President of Energy &amp; Director of Government Relations, Africa Oil Week and Green Energy Summit Africa<br \/>\nMobile: +44 7825 311791<br \/>\nE-mail: <a href=\"mailto:paul.sinclair@hyve.group\">paul.sinclair@hyve.group<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Africa Oil Week and the Green Energy Africa Summit:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Africa Oil Week offers four days of pioneering insights, from ministerial panels to strategic outlooks designed to drive investment into the African upstream for the continent&rsquo;s benefit. At the heart of the event are some of the most compelling insights into the upstream strategies of governments across the continent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>These extensive and varied networking opportunities have resulted in an unprecedented return of delegates year after year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>AOW is globally renowned for bringing the most senior delegates together each year. In 2021, AOW welcomed 30+ Ministers and Government Leaders, 2 000+ C-level delegates, representatives, and hundreds of SVPs and VPs of Africa, Exploration and New Ventures &ndash; making the event the most influential energy conference in Africa.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>While Africa Oil Week will retain its identity as a pure-play Hydrocarbons event to advocate upstream development, the Green Energy Africa Summit will also play its role in driving enabling environments to ensure foreign direct investment is deployed into game-changing projects that will reduce the energy deficit and provide energy access across the continent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-newsroom.com\/\">Source: Africa Newsroom &#8211; APO<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download logo Amidst a recent surge of exploratory drilling in Africa, Africa Oil Week (https:\/\/Africa-OilWeek.com) is organizing once again a Prospects Forum to offer a platform that will showcase some of the most attractive farm-in and exploration opportunities on the continent.
