“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” This timeless sentiment from Mahatma Gandhi is more apt today than ever, especially within the ever-evolving landscape of the energy sector.
As leaders, we cannot afford the luxury of passive observation. It’s time to step up, champion innovation, and embody the change we wish to witness.
This October, two distinguished international conferences beckon: Africa Oil Week 2023 in Cape Town and the 2nd Edition of the International Conference on Oil, Gas, and Petroleum Engineering (IOGP 23) in Boston. Let’s dive in.
Africa Oil Week 2023: Maximising Africa’s Natural Resources
When: 9-13 October
Where: Cape Town
Cape Town welcomes back Africa’s premier upstream event, Africa Oil Week. Centred around the theme, “Maximising Africa’s Natural Resources”, this event serves as a rallying cry for the brightest in the industry to come together. The objective? To formulate a sustainable roadmap for the continent’s responsible evolution. The synergy of government representatives, financiers, and global decision-makers will pave the path for the African Upstream’s future.
Africa Oil Week is the global platform for stimulating deals and transactions across the African Upstream. For over 25 years, the event has brought together governments, national and international oil companies, independents, investors, the G&G community, and service providers. AOW prides itself on offering unrivalled opportunities that drive investment and deal-making across the continent, thus shaping the future of Africa.
Africa Oil Week connects 50+ ministers and government leaders, 300+ leading speakers, and over 2,000+ senior delegates across 5 days of pioneering industry-leading insight, delivering deals and transactions across our conference, exhibition, and elite networking platforms.
As an Energy Transition Consultant and Executive Coach, Adam Lomas often urges leaders: “True leadership isn’t solely about guidance; it’s about listening, collaborating, and making informed decisions.” This is the spirit that Africa Oil Week encapsulates – a shared platform to spearhead innovation and position Africa as a leading energy powerhouse.
IOGP 23: Advancing Innovations for a Sustainable Future
When: 26-28 October
Where: Hybrid Event (In-person in Boston or virtually)
Hosted by the Magnus Group, IOGP 23 is set to be a landmark gathering. Focusing on “Advancing innovations to develop energy efficiency and sustainability,” this event is essential for all energy professionals. The oil and gas industry, a primary source of energy, faces an ever-present magnifying glass. The challenges are manifold: meeting demand, navigating fluctuating prices, and adhering to exacting environmental regulations.
Sessions at IOGP 23 span from Oil and Gas Technology, Petroleum Engineering, and Biorefinery to Oil & Gas Legal Issues and Reservoir Engineering. The overarching goal? Propelling sustainable advancement in the energy domain.
Here are the Scientific Sessions at IOGP 23 to look forward to:
- Oil and Gas Technology
- Petroleum Engineering
- Biorefinery, Biofuels and Bioenergy
- Fuel Chemistry, Technology & Processing
- Process Engineering
- Enhanced Oil & Gas Recovery
- Oil and Gas Reserves
- Oil & Gas Legal Issues
- Geochemistry of Oil, Gas, and Petroleum
- Reservoir Engineering, Simulation and Rock Mechanics
Adam Lomas, through his wealth of experience, has always championed proactive learning and collaboration. As he aptly puts it, “To grasp the future of our industry, continuous education is pivotal, and events like IOGP 23 are instrumental in ensuring we remain ahead.”
