Mauritania, as a new kid on the block in the green hydrogen terrain, presents a myriad of opportunities
for Green hydrogen project developers, service companies, and investors. Its proximity to Europe offers
an opportunity for the country to capitalize on its resources and be an exporter of green hydrogen to
the globe. This Masterclass uncovers the secrets to navigating the Mauritania energy sector and
participants will gain insights into the Green Hydrogen Code, understand the business landscape, and
equip themselves to thrive in this high-growth market.

This workshop equips professionals from both the buy-side (those seeking oil & gas reserves) and
sell-side (those offering seismic data and expertise) with the knowledge to optimize seismic data
acquisition and interpretation strategies for diverse geological settings.

This in-depth workshop plunges you into the cutting edge of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling exploration, uncovering the latest technologies that are shattering limitations and unlocking vast new reserves. Participants will gain insight into how these technologies propel energy exploration's future.

This workshop explores cutting-edge solutions for grid modernization. Participants will gain insights on
advanced technologies and strategies for enhancing grid stability, integrating renewables, and ensuring
a secure energy future for the MSGBC region.

Africa stands at a pivotal point in its energy journey with the continent remaining a prime destinationfor exploration and production, offering vast resources for traditional energy sources. Notably, countries like Algeria, Namibia, Angola, Nigeria, Libya, Senegal, and many others have emerged as focal points for exploration ventures, attracting significant attention from industry players. However, The COP28 resolutions on accelerating the transition to clean energy are casting a long shadow on traditional energy projects. This shifting landscape underscores the need for a balanced approach to energy development in Africa, one that embraces innovation, fosters sustainability, and ensures responsible resource management. The CEO Assembly is an exclusive gathering of senior leaders taking place at MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power Conference 2024. This closed-door event brings together up to thirty Global CEOs representing a diverse range of sectors, including oil & gas majors, independent producers, renewables developers, and technology innovators. This event presents a unique opportunity for a closed-door meeting. It will provide a safe space for CEOs from across the industry spectrum to engage in open dialogue with government representatives. Discussions will be held under Chatham House Rules, ensuring confidentiality and encouraging candid exchange of ideas. We’ll address industry realities, forge
strategic partnerships, and shape the future of the African energy sector.
