Algiers Breakfast Briefing 2017 - the audience view on oil price, gas exports and the upstream investment climate
Report summary
On 19 September 2017, Wood Mackenzie held its inaugural forum in Algiers where we presented our latest views on developments in the country. Our sister company Maplecroft presented first, discussing the significant political risk that oil and gas companies across North Africa must contend with. Wood Mackenzie then focused on gas dynamics in Algeria and the country's role as a supplier into Europe. During the forum, we asked the audience to complete a questionnaire to gauge opinion on key issues concerning the upstream sector and in the outlook for Algeria. Questions included views on oil prices, future gas supply, upstream costs, gas exports, and exploration. This report includes a review of the survey results and how they compare with Wood Mackenzie's forecasts.
