Meet The Speaker
David Pilling, Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking
The MSGBC Basin is a relatively green-field space and being at the early stage of development there is tremendous potential to build meaningful multi-decade production hubs.
Aguibou Ba, Institut National du Pétrole et du Gaz (INPG)
When an industry is in its nascent stages, there are development opportunities at every stage. Ultimately, I envision the INPG as a veritable hub for the MSGBC basin — a regional entry point for companies and potential partners.
Nino Meladze, BP
In today’s changing environment, I believe the combination of a great technical foundation with good behaviours is the key to growing great talent – no matter where in the world you are operating.
Isatou Auber Faal, GNPC
With a better defined PEPLA being finalized and the licensing process for open blocks currently ongoing, the dynamics of the industry will improve greatly in the next five years in The Gambia.
Augusto Artur Antonio Da Silva, AGC
The Agency’s main objective over the next three years is the implementation of the drilling program in the AGC Central and the AGC Profound block raising a lot of interest from external companies and the AGC itself.
Sean Guest
Our gas-condensate discovery in Turkey created a very significant increase in our share price. It was a very exciting time as we tested the well and then were able to raise all of the capital required for our appraisal program.
Vance Querio, CEO, Oryx Petroleum
The MSGBC Basin is an attractive region to do business for a number of reasons. Most importantly the basins geologic characteristics provide the potential for sizable discoveries of hydrocarbons as demonstrated by a number of operators already.
