NAIROBI; KENYA: Kenya is set to host the second oil and gas Africa Exhibition in April and May to be attended by delegates drawn from across the World.

The Exhibition is a biennial platform for national and international experts in the oil and gas industry to exchange views and share knowledge, expertise and experiences. The event also aims to explore areas of growth in petroleum technology, exploration, drilling, production and processing, refining, pipeline, transportation, petrochemicals, natural gas, LNG, petroleum trade, economics, marketing, research and development, information technology, safety, health and environment management in the oil and gas sector.

As the prime showcase of Kenya’s Oil and Gas sector, this mega event attracts professionals, technologists, planners, policy makers, management experts and entrepreneurs to solicit their views in order to catalyse achievement of global energy security.

Over the past ten years, oil production has doubled in Africa and new routes have been created for the transportation of hydrocarbons to world markets.

The development of the oil and gas industry will continue to have a positive effect on the pace of development of the non-oil sectors of Africa’s economy.

The successful development of the oil and gas industry plays an important role in improving the stability of the country’s international and regional situation. The growth of production capacities and expansion of transport infrastructure is promoting greater cooperation between Africa and international oil and gas industry professionals.
