Event Overview

The EAGE Sub-Saharan Africa Energy Forum will bring together energy leaders, geoscientists, engineers, and policymakers to explore the region’s evolving energy landscape and unlock its full potential. This interactive forum will highlight the opportunities and challenges facing both frontier and proven hydrocarbon provinces, while also exploring the role of emerging energy solutions in shaping a sustainable future.

Participants will examine the critical path from frontier exploration—navigating uncertainty and risk—through to proven play development, focusing on how to build a resilient resource base and maximize value from existing assets. Sessions will delve into how new technologies are enabling better subsurface understanding, improving operational efficiency, and delivering real project returns across the energy lifecycle.

The forum will also spotlight the transition from discovery to production, emphasizing practical strategies for unlocking discovered resources swiftly and cost-effectively. Finally, we will look ahead to the future of energy in Sub-Saharan Africa, with discussions on investment in renewables, hydrogen, CCUS, wind, and solar, and how to lay the foundation today for long-term energy security and sustainability. This forum offers a unique platform to share insights, foster collaboration, and drive innovation across the region’s dynamic energy sector.
