Pre-conference Program

Hosted by: SONAP

Key discussion points include: 

• An underexplored frontier basin: 27 offshore blocks, only 3 wells drilled, and extensive 2D and 3D seismic coverage. Each well is a geological lesson, not a failure. 

• Proven petroleum system elements: at least three source rocks identified, Mesozoic carbonate and clastic reservoirs, and Cretaceous turbidite fan plays with analogues across the margin.

• A basin being re-rated: Eni's basin-scale evaluation of 15 blocks, modern 3D seismic and RockAVO technology are giving a new technical view of Guinea's offshore, including untested deepwater fairways.

• Investment opportunities and partnership with SONAP: access to data, reprocessing, open acreage, and an attractive legal and fiscal framework, with SONAP as the gateway for investors. 

Hosted by: TGS

Key discussion points include: 

• Recent exploration wells and their impact on the basin understanding
• Correlate new production and hydrocarbon knowledge
• Address previously perceived risks over the acreage
• Set new acreage holders in perspective of mapped potential  

Hosted by: ELTON

Key discussion points include: 

• Overview of the ELTON LNG Project: Strategic framework for LNG import and distribution utilizing virtual pipelines, alongside centralized and satellite regasification infrastructures.
• Gas-to-Power Case Study – Satellite Units: Technical, economic, and environmental impacts of substituting Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) with LNG in industrial satellite units.
• LNG/CNG in Clean Mobility: Decarbonizing transport through the substitution of diesel and gasoline, analysis of conversion kits, and structural implementation challenges.
• The Future of Energy Transition in West Africa: Concrete deployment of applications bridging regional gas security with sustainable energy integration.
