Elephant Stage/Ballroom East
AEW Town Hall
The roundtable unites OPEC leadership and African producers to align on strategies for capacity, investment, and downstream operations in light of a forecasted 1.4 million bpd global oil demand growth for 2026. As energy security shifts toward Africa due to disruptions in Middle Eastern supply routes, the discussion will assess how African producers can become essential players in the global market, addressing the supply gap left by instability while enhancing sustainability and domestic energy security.
