While cautiously optimistic is the current modus operandi
across the board, there are plenty of reasons to rally for the next phase of
the industry’s evolution and Africa Oil Week will unpack them all. From new
efficiency imperatives to environmental challenges, via the landmark OPEC deal,
leaner business models, trickier deep-water challenges, digital trends and
more, Africa Oil Week delegates and speakers will reconnect with the pioneering
spirit of their business and delve deep into their resourcefulness,
inventiveness and ingenuity.
Spearheading this new wave of exploration and discovery
is digital technology, mainly focused on mobility and the Internet of Things
(IoT), forecast to lead the way for the next three to five years. These digital trends, in turn, pave the way
for new careers as oil companies strive to shore up capabilities and skills.
Despite the challenges the African upstream industry is
facing, with competition from new frontier markets, the continent still
presents the fullest spectrum of E&P promise. And while the survival
tactics employed over the past few years have simply become a new way of
operating, they are built on the bedrock of the traditional upstream models
established by the industry’s original pioneers – all of whom are an integral
part of the Africa Oil Week culture and experience.
