CONFERENCE OVERVIEW:
Oil and gas facilities have always encountered specific and often high risk security issues, especially in locales that are geographically
challenging or politically complex. In Africa, the continuous discovery of new onshore and offshore oil and gas deposits has increased
the strategic importance and positioning of the continent. However, with those opportunities, emerge enormous challenges, for
example, piracy, oil theft, accidents, have now reached disturbing proportions. Therefore, all oil and gas industry stakeholders have to
comply with many strict security measures in order to ensure a maximum level of safety.
In view of this, IQPC will bring you the Critical Infrastructure Protection in Oil and Gas Africa 2014 (CIPOGA 14) conference which will
be held from 2 - 4 December 2014 in Accra, Ghana. The event is supported by Ghana Gas and will be attended by industry leaders and
high level personalities from the civil and military spheres. CIPOGA 2014 will be a unique platform for networking where attendees can
share expertise and knowledge with local authorities and neighbouring countries, on how to:
•Protect offshore and onshore oil and gas infrastructure in Africa through bilateral cooperation
•Secure offshore and onshore oil and gas facilities by introducing state of the art security systems
•Develop defence strategies and effective damage prevention measures for those facilities
•Design a proactive security strategy specifically tailored to the complex operating environment of Africa
The conference will also highlight case studies, presentations and panel discussions which will address the extent of insecurity
of facilities in Africa and the threat posed by expanding offshore / onshore infrastructure attacks, cyber attacks, pipeline
sabotage, oil theft, terrorism and accidents.
