If you know anything about Africa’s upstream industry, you’ll know Angola has re-emerged as a top-tier destination for upstream investment, powered by policy reforms, transparency, and new incentives that are reigniting deepwater exploration.

Last month, the 3rd World Energies Summit defined new paths for investment, technology, policy, and collaboration across the upstream industry.

As I reflect on the 3rd edition of the World Energies Summit this month in London, I am reminded of the importance of collaboration in shaping meaningful analysis and sound insight on the future of global energy demand.

Energy for people. Progress for society. Searching for better.
