The MSGBC region is preparing for a major milestone in regional energy development, as industry leaders gather in Dakar for the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 conference. The event comes as first gas from the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project and first oil from Senegal’s Sangomar field reshape the outlook for msgbc energy collaboration, investment, and economic growth. With exploration advancing across The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea-Conakry, the region’s outlook is increasingly shaped by seismic data, fiscal incentives, and cross-border cooperation.
