EAGE Sub-Saharan Africa Energy Forum
We are pleased to invite you to join us for the highly anticipated continuation of our successful workshop series, the EAGE Eastern Africa Petroleum Geoscience Forum & Western Africa Exploration & Production Workshop. This time, the event will be held under a slightly different name: the EAGE Sub-Saharan Africa Energy Forum. The forum will take place in Windhoek, Namibia, in March 2024.
We look forward to your presence and active participation in this exciting event!
