Advancing Local Content and Regional Development Initiatives
The SPE Workshop will convene operators, investors, policymakers, and technical leaders to discuss Senegal’s expanding petroleum landscape and regional development initiatives. Sessions will address three key areas: local content in gas infrastructure, management challenges in gas fields, and strategies for production optimization.
Discussions will explore opportunities related to gas-to-power, floating LNG services, pipeline expansion, logistics, and supply chain development—core components tied to local content policy and senegal workforce involvement.
Supporting Africa’s Sustainable Energy Growth
SPE Africa continues to promote capacity building, sustainable technologies, and knowledge exchange across the continent through its technical workshops and industry events.
With Senegal advancing major projects such as the Sangomar oil field and Greater Tortue Ahmeyim gas development, SPE’s involvement reflects support for the country’s natural gas reserves and broader goals of economic transformation. Their keynote insights will address how Senegal can maximize technical talent, build industry capabilities, and drive sustainable industry growth.
Navigating Technical and Commercial Complexities
The workshop will also explore challenges around deepwater operations, infrastructure limitations, market volatility, and balancing LNG exports with domestic energy demand. SPE aims to share approaches that enhance operational efficiency through digitalization, governance transparency, capacity building, and ESG integration across the value chain.
MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 will run from December 8-10 under the theme, Energy, Petroleum and Mining in Africa: Synergy for Inclusive Economic Development.
“SPE’s participation brings unparalleled technical depth and industry insight to this year’s program, supporting stakeholders as Senegal scales up its oil and gas operations. Their leadership in capacity building and knowledge transfer is essential to strengthening local capability and ensuring long-term value creation across the MSGBC sector,” said Sandra Jeque, Events and Project Director, Energy Capital & Power.
