Africa Oil Week temporarily moved to Dubai for 2021 edition

The Africa Oil Week has temporarily been moved to Dubai for this year's edition, said the event organisers, The Hyve Group.

 

Rubbishing the media reports on its replacement, The Hyve Group confirmed that the 2021 edition of Africa Oil Week will be held from November 8 to 11 in Dubai and their mandate remains the same – to stimulate upstream deals and transactions and help drive investment into the African upstream sector and facilitate new partnerships and networking opportunities as per their 27-year history and legacy.

 

AOW clarified that it does not have any partnership or connection to Africa Energy Week, nor the organisers Africa Energy Chamber. 

 

The Hyve Group also slammed the false media articles which stated that the event would be run in Cape Town, despite the ongoing Covid-19 curbs on events by South African government.

 

The organisers said AOW is set to reunite the African upstream industry in November with over 57% of countries across the continent sending ministers of energy, including: Mauritania, Ghana, Senegal, Namibia, the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

 

The event also hosts industry CEOs across the energy value chain, along with sponsors TotalEnergies, Chevron, ENI, Equinor, Africa Oil Corp, Seplat and Famfa.
