Our 10th Southern Africa Energy Week 2009 provides a timely, in-depth management assessment for decision-makers on these key strategic shifts that will impact all Governments, companies, investors, financiers, and service/supply industries within Africa's most energy-critical region south of the Equator.

The Southern Africa Conference and Strategy Briefing Focus with be on Africa South of the Equator: Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Comoros, Congo, DRC, Gabon, Lesotho, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mocambique, Rwanda, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe

The large and growing Southern African oil, gas and energy/coal complex - including future fuels in the form of additional Gas-to Liquids, Coal-Bed Methane and CTL, eventual LNG, biofuels, ethanol and renewables - has created a larger and more integrated market to underpin economic growth and future development. This new and dynamic shape to energy supply complements existing upstream capacity in offshore oil, onshore gas, pipeline networks for crude and product, plus limited nuclear energy, as well as synfuels generated by established producers.

In many Southern African countries exploration and development ventures in oil/gas are moving forward and upstream projects are higher on the corporate agenda, with new acreage leasing, and drilling, plus targets such as heavy oil development based on large proven reserves.
