Basins Without Borders: Unlocking Transnational Potential in the South Atlantic with Subsurface and Above Ground insight

14 Oct 2026
Lion Stage, Hall 1A
Upstream E&P Forum

Sustainable practices, equitable sharing of benefits, and a comprehensive understanding of shared geological challenges. The energy opportunities and challenges facing Africa and South America do not stop at national borders. As producers, investors and policymakers, we have an opportunity to look beyond individual basins and countries and ask how regions can work together to unlock resources, attract investment, strengthen energy security and create lasting economic value. This panel discussion will showcase how operators continue to evaluate entire petroleum systems and seek geological insight from prolific basins on both sides of the Atlantic. National institutions from Angola, Liberia and oil companies investing on both continental shelves, will investigate how regional collaboration initiatives help accelerate exploration and attract investment into this most talked-about opportunities in West and Southern Africa.
