Includes the 17th Scramble for Africa: Strategy Briefing

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, October 6, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Unique to Global Pacific & Partners, this high-quality Strategy Briefing tracks changing competitor maps across Africa’s exploration landscapes for oil and gas-LNG companies and foreign state oil firms, within the shifting paradigms shaped by governments and national oil companies. It provides deep-level and seasoned insights with critical interpretations on the strategies of around 750 corporate players, in a one-of-a-kind review which reveals Africa's emerging and fast-evolving petro-cartography found above-ground, and shown as never seen before.

Presentations are made by Dr Duncan Clarke (Chairman of the Board, Global Pacific & Partners), the leading strategist, speaker, thinker, writer and author on Africa’s fast-growing and complex upstream game.

Duncan Clarke is author of the path-breaking, one-and-only continent-wide, 100 year historiography of the upstream and the exploration game, elaborated in Africa Crude Continent: The Struggle for Africa’s Oil Prize (Profile Books, 2010: with the TV-Film Documentary made by CNBC-Africa, available for viewing on our website), plus the widely-acclaimed Africa's Future: Darkness To Destiny (Profile Books 2012). Earlier published works include The Battle For Barrels (Profile, 2007) and Empires Of Oil (Profile 2007), and along with co-author Babette van Gessel, Three Decades in the Long Grass: The Story of Global Pacific & Partners (Jacana Media, Johannesburg, 2014).

This intensive, one-day, not-to-miss, Tour de l’Afrique, revealing Africa’s dynamic but changing competitive oil maps and political economy, with fast-shifting geopolitics and corporate oil/gas landscapes, highlights themes and insights not typically identified by any conventional analysts or media.

The Strategy Briefing covers inter alia the following issues with significant current and long-term relevance to oil/gas companies, Governments, National Oil Companies, oil and gas investors, licensing agencies, and executives and corporate strategists within Africa’s oil/gas industry and business world, notably:

Top-to Bottom diagnosis of the strategies, portfolios and shifting competitive interests of over 750 oil/gas companies in Africa
No-holds barred forensic analysis of the policies, politics and initiatives of Africa’s Governments and state oil players active on the Continent
Intensive, image-driven discourse on the proliferating numbers of corporate players and their strengths/weaknesses within Africa
Worldwide understanding of the foreign state oil companies in or entering Africa, based on our direct relationships and advisory practice
Critical insights on the diverse portfolios in play for unlocking Africa’s oil and gas natural capital, as the continent’s economic growth driver
Significance of the surge towards resource nationalism in key African countries, for energy/oil-gas investments and corporate investment strategies
Drivers of the competitive corporate game in Africa, and the lunge by Great Powers (China, India, Russia, Europe, Latins), with the rise of state oil entities
The shaping of foreign/domestic oil and gas investment trends Africa-wide, and implications for local and foreign company players alike
Emerging corporate opportunities and state oil/energy bottlenecks (in resource nationalism, infrastructure, capital markets) for the growth path forward
New entrants, die-hards, the “good, bad and ugly” – from super-majors-to-minnows – now shaping and making Africa’s oil future
Intelligence and insight unavailable elsewhere, with rich-content, to reveal the evolving oil and gas landscapes across Africa

Participants benefit from deep understanding of corporate strategies, access to unique knowledge, high-level networking, with Luncheon and Cocktails, prior to our PetroAfricanus Dinner in Africa, held on the evening of the day.
