The firm was represented by Rustam Mirzoev throughout the five-day event, which serves as a major international forum for the energy sector. The conference gathered participants from both public and private sectors, including investors, policymakers, and industry leaders, to discuss developments across the energy value chain. The programme covered a broad range of topics, from upstream and downstream operations to renewable energy services, providing a platform for stakeholders to examine the continent's strategic importance within the broader context of global energy markets and geopolitical shifts.

The sessions focused on the investment requirements for African energy markets and the progression of projects from initial planning to final delivery. Discussions addressed the continent's potential as a strategic hub for hydrocarbon growth and the importance of energy security. Furthermore, the programme examined the current landscape for financing renewable energy projects, the revitalisation of existing brownfield and onshore assets, and the development of potential in frontier basins. These topics highlighted the evolving nature of the energy sector in Africa and the ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure and production capabilities across the region.

The conference also featured dedicated sessions on investment opportunities within specific nations, including Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea. These country-focused discussions offered insights into the regional trends and developments that are expected to influence the next cycle of exploration and production on the continent. By engaging with policymakers and industry leaders, participants sought to understand the factors shaping the future of African energy. These insights are intended to assist stakeholders in navigating the complex investment environment and identifying potential growth areas within the various energy sectors represented at the event.
