This conference series, which has been alternating annually between London and Houston since 2002, has evolved into the premier event for technical discussions and networking on exploration and geosciences in Africa.

With attendances in recent years reaching over 600; including operators, consultants, governments and academia, there is a large poster programme in addition to the oral programme of over 25 high quality talks covering E&P in all regions of Africa. This is complemented by a lively exhibition floor which boasts over 50 exhibitors.

Join us at the African E&P Conference 2015Business Design Centre, London

3-4 September 2015

The first PESGB Special Interest Group meeting on Africa was a one-day event held in 1998 on West Africa. Since then the African E&P Conference has evolved into the premier event for technical discussions and networking on exploration and geosciences in Africa, with a rigourous technical programme and bustling exhibition floor. The 2015 event entitled “Always Something New Coming Out of Africa”, inspired by Aristotle, promises to build on the successes of previous shows, do not miss out!
