Africa’s upstream sector enters 2026 at a pivotal crossroads. While the continent boasts undeniable momentum, the dual forces of aggressive production targets and shifting macroeconomic risks are reshaping the investment landscape.

From Nigeria’s indigenous-led drilling surge to Uganda’s historic debut as an oil producer via the EACOP pipeline, the continent is proving its resilience. However, as gas takes center stage in the energy mix, the question remains: Where does the most sustainable value lie in 2026?

Join our panel of experts as we dissect the regional trends, fiscal shifts, and wells that will define the next 12 months.

Agenda

1) Production Winners: Nigeria’s surge, Libya’s stability, and Uganda’s first oil.

2) The Gas Pivot: Critical export and import strategies in Mozambique and Egypt.

3) Acreage & Exploration: High-impact "wells to watch" and new licensing opportunities.

4) The Namibia Frontier: Commercializing the Venus, Mopane, and Capricornus finds.
