First EAGE Western Africa Exploration & Production Workshop
The objective of this workshop series is to identify practices and ways, including collaborative actions, to boost exploration and appraisal activities globally in frontier and emerging domains of Western Africa. The need for collaboration in Geosciences and Operations is promoted by the EAGE since the conference held in Paris in 2017, and was the main theme of the Annual Conference in Copenhagen in 2018. Regional workshops such as this one aim to bring concrete actions into play.
This workshop encourages working across boundaries that we may not have explored in the past. Results from this kind of workshop has led to examining, sharing experiences and enabling cooperation in licensing, permits and ideas for standardisation in HSE. This workshop will bring focus on Western Africa exploration experiences and challenges.
(1) Petroleum Systems and Play Understanding
(2) Technology advances
(3) Commercial/Above Ground
(4) Energy Transition
The targeted audience is Authorities representatives, Exploration, Geosciences and Operations managers and specialists, Universities and Institutes, involved in the preparation and execution of exploration activities (approvals, studies, environmental, geophysical, drilling, logistics…) in West Africa.
Parallel focus sessions will be implemented into the programme including a poster area for service companies and research projects, so that the entire audience remains engaged around their specific challenges.
The expected deliverable is for each delegate to exchange and capture potential actions, inherited from past and current practices, to achieve efficient exploration programs.
