Service and technology providers are increasingly becoming key players in Africa’s oil and gas industry, offering innovative solutions that enhance efficiency, drive innovation, and promote sustainability across various projects in the sector. These companies are pivotal in advancing exploration efforts and boosting production capacity, and they will be showcasing their strategies and upcoming projects at the inaugural Congo Energy & Investment Forum (CEIF) scheduled for March.
Set to take place in Brazzaville from March 24-26, CEIF 2025 will highlight the Republic of Congo’s energy ambitions, including plans to ramp up oil production to 500,000 barrels per day by 2027 and the introduction of its Gas Master Plan. With prominent service providers like Accenture and NOV participating in a detailed roundtable session at CEIF 2025, the country is well-positioned to demonstrate an improved business environment that welcomes both local and international companies.
The inaugural Congo Energy & Investment Forum, under the patronage of President Denis Sassou Nguesso and supported by the Ministry of Hydrocarbons and Société Nationale des Pétroles du Congo, will bring together global investors and local stakeholders to explore energy and infrastructure opportunities on a national and regional level. The event will delve into the latest gas-to-power projects and provide updates on ongoing expansions across the country.
