Africa’s Petroleum Potential: Expanding Exploration, Attracting Investment for Growth
04 May 2027
Room 202
Around the World
The Africa Energy Forum at OTC 2027 will showcase a continent whose hydrocarbon story is far from fully told, with new discoveries across frontier basins and deepwater provinces reshaping global supply outlooks. This session will bring together governments, national oil companies, international operators, and financiers to explain the latest exploration data and what it means for investors seeking opportunity. Speakers will explore how transparent fiscal frameworks, stronger infrastructure, and bankable partnerships can move discoveries to development and production. By connecting exploration success to capital flows, the session will highlight how responsible petroleum development can drive jobs, energy security, and sustained economic growth across Africa.
