IBC is delighted to present further details of the 4th Annual West &
Central Africa Oil & Gas conference in
Houston. An event now firmly established in the industry calendar and
of timely importance in light of security of supply issues affecting
the global market.
Africa
has an increasingly crucial place as a major energy supplier to the
USA
and according to the Financial Times (30/1/2006), "the US was more
dependent on oil from
Africa
in 2005 than from the
Middle East. In the first 10 months of 2005, the US imported 762m
barrels from
Africa
against 703m from the
Middle East."
Planet Environment also reports in November 2005 that the "USA is
hoping to get ¼ of its oil imports in a decade from West Africa, up
from 14% now."
This illustrates the increasing importance of Africa as an energy
supplier to the USA and why the timing of IBC’s 4th Annual West &
Central Africa Oil & Gas conference is of paramount importance. Join
key Governmental officials and oil and gas players to discuss the
latest opportunities as well as learning how to maximize doing
business in the region. Don’t miss this must attend event in the oil
