Africa Oil Week (www.Africa-OilWeek.com) has launched two complimentary reports, produced in association with Wood Mackenzie. Both assess the impact of the latest supply and demand crisis in oil and gas markets, one with a global (https://bit.ly/30S45Nf) and the other with an African (https://bit.ly/2CnbElK) focus.

Posing the question “what’s next?”, the reports look at what has changed in the upstream and offer future projections, covering areas including:

• Development capex
• Production (liquids and gas)
• Valuations
• Returns on pre-production projects
• Cash flow

Read side by side, the reports offer a unique opportunity to assess Africa’s position in the global hydrocarbons landscape. It’s no secret that the continent has been hit hard by the current crisis, with sweeping cuts and deferrals – particularly in high cost deepwater projects in the west and LNG projects in the east. Nevertheless, with a growing, energy-hungry population, Africa appears to be resilient, with upstream capital expenditure forecast to exceed 2019 levels by 2022.
