Global Pacific & Partners announce their Program for the 3rd Eastern Africa Oil, Gas & Energy Week in Nairobi, Kenya, 26-28 March 2012.
Dr Duncan Clarke, Chairman & CEO, Global Pacific & Partners, says: “Eastern Africa holds great commercial promise and strategic potential, and while the area and its multiple basins are at an early stage of the exploration cycle, much success has been recorded in numerous spheres. Our focus is on the corporate players, private and state entities, which are shaping the fast-moving dynamics of one of the Continent’s rapidly growing oil, gas and energy markets”.
“Eastern Africa’s hydrocarbon game is on fire, with new leasing, acreage pick-up, farm-ins, oil and gas discoveries, and significant investment inflows”
Dr Clarke continues: “This Conference offers exceptionally rich content particularly around new ventures and exploration in frontier opportunities, shaping the region’s upstream and energy markets as well as related infrastructure – and most critically, unlocking the natural resource base, economic potential and future of the region.”
The 3rd Eastern Africa Oil, Gas & Energy Week will showcase the regional oil, gas and energy game in over a dozen states: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Eritrea, Somaliland, Seychelles, Madagascar and Mocambique.
