“The sessions are very important and interesting. For the next edition, it would also be nice to have a session on the role of women in the hydrocarbon sector and how to help women reach executive positions in the hydrocarbon sector. For the rest, everything is going well. “
Bi-Dia-Ayo IBATA | Head of Associations and Guardianship – Relations Department, SNPC
“I think that the conference is excellent. It is very important to remember that a country who can afford its own conference gives a clear sign of credibility, it shows that it is one of the leading places of oil & gas production in the world. Only few countries can afford to have their own conference, so it shows that there is a leader in the oil & gas market in Africa.”
Andrea CATTANEO | CEO and Founder, Zenith Energy
“During this exhibition, we regularly raised the question of the value chain, the opportunity to do business at this conference and being able to involve national players more in the process of oil exploitation. A regulatory framework has been put in place with the Hydrocarbons Code, which pushes any operator to devote 25% of production sharing contracts to national private companies, which have the technical and financial capacity to be able to participate in the petroleum industry project.”
Jean-Christophe DA SILVA | Managing Director, AOGC
“The conference has been excellent, the venue is very modern and well equipped, the attendance has been fantastic, real range of different companies, both Congolese companies as well as those coming from further abroad. We have had people from America, China, Russia and Europe. It has been a very diverse platform for developing contacts, knowledge of the market and understanding the opportunities.”
Jeremy PARKER | Director of Business Development, CITAC
“It has been very positive few days, it has been very productive, there has been a lot of very positive conversations. The key take home message is definitely that everybody wants to enhance production, continue exploration and prove reserves not only just in Congo but across all west Africa and the APPO productive countries.”
Christine ROCHE | New Ventures Manager, PGS
“This is my third participation and what impressed me the most is the feedback that we were able to note through the interventions from other countries in the sub-region, especially on the implementation of local content, issues, suggestions and recommendations made. We hope that our public partners will take all of these good suggestions into account in order to make them truly a program for the establishment of win-win partnerships with operators in the private sector.”
Léa Ndombi | Head of Division CSR, TOTAL E&P
