Africa’s Offshore Boom

Africa has become a global hotspot for offshore energy exploration and project development. Major discoveries across the continent have elevated its already significant role in global production, firmly putting it in the focus of international companies looking to tap into this potential.

Rystad Energy has identified 36 potential high-impact wells to be drilled or spud in 2024, the highest annual total since the company began tracking the market in 2015, of which 13 are in Africa.

This session will explore the key dynamics shaping Africa’s offshore sector, the opportunities for partnership and investment between Norway and the continent, and the challenge of driving sustainable development while harnessing the region’s energy potential.
