Master upstream oil and gas operations in Sub-Saharan Africa — from deepwater exploration to LNG monetization — with real-world case studies and practical skills
This intensive 5-day training programme delivers a comprehensive understanding of upstream operations across Sub-Saharan Africa, spanning exploration, drilling, production, sales, and marketing.
Through regional case studies — including Akpo (Nigeria), Jubilee (Ghana), Girassol (Angola), Coral FLNG (Mozambique), and Orange Basin discoveries (Namibia) — participants will explore petroleum geology, drilling and completions, fiscal regimes, petroleum economics, and operational risk management. The course bridges global best practices with African realities, equipping delegates with the tools to ensure operational excellence, profitability, and sustainability.
Why this course is important
Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the world’s most dynamic upstream regions, with deepwater oil, LNG megaprojects, and frontier discoveries reshaping global energy markets. Yet, operators face challenges including fiscal reforms, pipeline sabotage, illegal bunkering, price volatility, and community relations.
This course will help participants:
- Gain a regional perspective of the upstream oil and gas business across Africa.
- Understand advances in offshore drilling and subsea systems in frontier basins.
- Evaluate fiscal regimes in Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa.
- Assess project economics and risk analysis for upstream investments.
- Navigate contracts and negotiations with governments and NOCs.
- Address operational risks — sabotage, community engagement, and security.
- Benchmark African projects against global upstream peers.
