2. Africa’s premier and longest-running oil industry event brings together senior global upstream
stakeholders for five days of content, thought leadership, networking and deal making, along
with corporate and public sphere speakers who will share winning strategies and solutions to
face the future with confidence.
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.

3. One of the highlights of this year’s Africa Oil Week, the
Ministerial Panel includes presentations from the oil and gas
ministers of Egypt, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire,
Republic of Congo, Namibia, South Africa and United States
of America
This half-day forum, held over three days will focus on
energising the growing world by knowledge and technology.
Each session at Africa Oil Week 2017 will now include an
interactive question and answer session, where you can
engage on a wide range of key issues for the African oil
and gas market.
LNG Handbook / LNG-to-Power Workshop
‘Future Friday’ is a whole day of sessions on the future
landscape of exploration and production in Africa. This
year, the focus is on the ways in which technology will
change E&P activity in Africa, as well as future challenges
and predictions, and much more.
The Young Professionals in Oil, Gas and Energy Club is a
chance for the next generation in African oil and gas to
give their careers an early boost. The programme includes
ten roundtable discussions that give participants a chance
to share the knowledge of their peers.
The Government Panel Discussion brings top-level state
officials from four countries together in one room – Nigeria,
The Gambia, Ethiopia, Senegal and the Seychelles.
The Côte d’Ivoire Roadshow is focused on E&P and
licensing round opportunities in the promising oil and gas
market of Côte d’Ivoire. Get first-hand information on the
state of play in the country from the Minister of Petroleum,
and senior managers from Petroci, Côte d’Ivoire’s national
oil company.
The Official Africa Oil Week App is available for
Downloading for IOS & Android devices. The AOW App

Ballroom Are we running out of Oil and gas or we running out of ideas ? As it is said many a times in past that time of
“easy oil” has gone and Geoscientist are exploring new frontiers with conventional wisdom and technology.
Subtle traps, Basement oil, pre salt traps are creeping in to the arena and main focus area.
Africa’s share of global oil production has seen downward trend slightly since last year, moving it from 9.3%
to 9.1% of global output. Proven oil reserves on the continent are still estimated to be 7.6% of the global total,
which is the same as of the previous year. This is direct result of “Demand- supply” game as much of the explo-
ration and appraisal activity has been put on hold with the global oil price downturn. Despite this, Africa boasts
eleven out of the top-20 discoveries in 2015 and already six out of the top-20 discoveries.
A major challenge lies ahead to reduce exploration and production cost to keep the venture profitable.
Under this theme papers are invited related to conventional exploration, both on land and offshore where a
success has been achieved while exploring clastic and carbonate reservoirs in different Geological settings and
water depth.
• Conventional exploration: Clastic and Carbonates reservoirs In Offshore and onland environment
• Deep water exploration challenges and mitigation scenario

PETROLEUM EXPLORATIONAfrica’s Meeting
Suite, Exhibition
Ballroom E&P is gamble where risk can be reduced or minimised by taking calculated and informed decisions. The combi-
nation of skilled human resources, innovative thinking and new technologies has been and will continue to be
the key factor in finding and developing new sources of hydrocarbons in the most challenging environments. It
is for this reason that time and again ingenuity unlocks enormous new pools of resources that were unknown or
not viable even in well-explored provinces. Recent examples are the huge shale gas resources being developed in
North America and now being targeted around the world as analogue, and has the potential to change landscape
of many African countries. Vast amounts of oil/gas discovered only in the last 10 years, in spite of over 50 years
of exploration activity, both on east coast and west coast of Africa which is sitting with around 500tcf of gas and
substantial amount of liquid hydrocarbon.
The lifecycle of an oilfield is typically characterized by three main stages: production build up, plateau produc-
tion, and declining production. Sustaining the required production levels over the duration of the lifecycle
requires a good understanding of and the ability to control the recovery mechanisms involved.
Papers are invited related to new technologies and methods used in E&P industry for better understanding
and mapping of petroleum systems, Reservoir management, specially enhancing recovery factor and other EOR
techniques to bring maximum quantity of hydrocarbon on the surface at minimum cost for utilisation and
betterment of mankind.
• Reservoir management to drain best of it in Conventional, Frontier and Marginal field area
• New technologies to mitigate risk and enhance profitability
“Enjoyed very much the event and congratulations, it was a successful opportunity for meeting the major (not
only) players in the Africa oil & gas business. I found several presentations displayed at the conference very
useful and they triggered a lot of interest in my organization”

UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCE PLAYS IN AFRICAAfrica’s Meeting
Suite, Exhibition
Ballroom Geologists have long known that large amounts of organic matter and natural gas are trapped (usually by clay
and other fine-grained minerals) in many shale formations. The principal reason these formations have not been
exploited is their extremely low permeability (the measure of the ease with which fluids flow through them):
on average, it is about 6 orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional oil and gas reservoirs. As a result,
commercial production of shale gas did not take off until about a decade ago, when the combination of hori-
zontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing were used extensively in the Barnett Shale in the Ft. Worth/Dallas area
of north-central Texas.
These complicated resources needs lot of engineering interventions to free energy molecule trapped between
clay layers or water molecules. Each basin and formation has its own characteristics and requires a novel tech-
nology and resources hence different economics to bring it to surface. The development of these resources in
environment friendly manner by leaving minimum foot prints is biggest challenge in low oil price environment.
Papers are being invited for methodologies to extract and understand these unconventional resources and possi-
ble motivators and show stoppers in development of these valuable and huge resources which have changed the
economic scenario of countries like USA.
• Development of Shale gas in African continent: What is main motivator/retarder? Gas market, Finances,
Regulations or technology and infra Structure?
• Shale gas, Shale oil, Oil shale, CBM, Tight sand, Basin centred gas, Gas hydrate: are they really a game
changer in low cost environment?

for the Event to be held at all or at the scheduled time and place, and ITE SA (Pty) Ltd reserves the right (but is not obliged)
to re-schedule the Event at another date and/or at any alternative venue. The Participant acknowledges that ITE SA (Pty) Ltd
