African Energy Week (AEW) 2025 African Energy General Counsel Forum to Spotlight Strategic Legal Leadership, Dealmaking and Doing Business in African Oil & Gas
The African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies conference – taking place from September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town – will host a groundbreaking African Energy General Counsel Forum, aimed at tackling challenges and opportunities surrounding doing business in Africa. The Forum will become a cornerstone event for legal leaders operating at the intersection of Africa's fast-evolving oil and gas sector, with conversations expected around corporate governance, digital transformation, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the expanding influence of general counsel in African oil and gas. As global energy dynamics experience a significant shift, with pressure to transition to renewable energy and the introduction of machine-learning technology, Africa stands at a pivotal moment. New discoveries across the continent – in conjunction with heightened opposition from environment groups – have impacted oil and gas transactions. As such, both in-house and external counsel have taken on a more strategic role. The AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 African Energy General Counsel Forum steps into this picture to tackle pressing questions faced by African oil and gas markets. These include how the role of general counsel is evolving in Africa; what are companies doing to navigate shifting energy dynamics while promoting growth in their departments; how are in-house teams developing highly effective relationships with external counsel; and how are both in-house and external counsel supporting firms to deliver value in oil and gas transactions. AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit for more information about this exciting event. Africa's oil and gas sector is experiencing rapid growth, with discoveries made in Namibia, Ivory Coast, Gabon and more opening-up new hydrocarbon provinces. In tandem, established producers such as Angola, Libya, Nigeria and the Republic of Congo are advancing billion-dollar projects, striving to bolster production and value addition. Downstream, infrastructure projects such as the East African Crude Oil Pipeline in Uganda, the Lobito Refinery in Angola and the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline offers new export and domestic distribution opportunities, signaling a shift in oil and gas trade in Africa. Given these developments, the continent's M&A activity showed a 73% increase in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the previous year, reaching $12.7 billion by July. Yet, amid this growth, the continent continues to face fierce opposition by environmental groups, with other challenges such as regulatory bottlenecks, access to financing and legal disputes impacting projects. The rise of AI and digital tools has also presented implications for the industry – both positive, with the opportunity to improve efficiency and reduce emissions, as well as negative, with access to technology and capacity challenges. In an environment marked by shifting energy and investment dynamics, the role of in-house and general counsel has never been more central. African counsel has an evolving role to play in supporting transactions, as they take on a more prominent role as a strategic advisor for the industry. As legal departments evolve, so do the expectations of their leadership. Legal leaders are being called upon to anticipate geopolitical and regulatory risks, shape ESG strategies and influence boardroom decisions that guide billion-dollar investments. The African Energy General Counsel Forum will address the most pressing legal dynamics shaping Africa's oil and gas industry. These include navigating local regulatory frameworks, managing cross-border transactions, resolving upstream disputes and working effectively with local counsel. The Forum will also examine what energy companies expect from in-house teams as they strive to mitigate legal risk and drive business value. For legal professionals, investors and executives alike, the Forum offers a critical platform to align legal infrastructure with Africa's ambitious oil and gas vision. As the continent pursues greater production, lower emissions and broader participation, the African Energy General Counsel Forum will be a strategic platform to place African counsel, AI and governance at the center of the race to make energy poverty history by 2030. 'Today's general counsel in Africa's oil and gas sector is not just a legal gatekeeper - they are a strategic catalyst for investment, compliance and growth. As the sector expands across new frontiers, legal leaders must step into roles that shape investor confidence, navigate regulatory complexity and harness emerging technologies like AI to unlock value across the energy value chain,' stated NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber.

Renaissance Africa Energy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to Speak at African Energy Week (AEW) 2025 Amid $15B Investment Drive in Nigeria
Tony Attah, CEO of Renaissance Africa Energy – a consortium of independent oil and gas companies -, has been confirmed to speak at this year's African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies 2025 conference, taking place from September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town. His participation comes at a pivotal moment as Renaissance Africa Energy spearheads one of Nigeria's most ambitious upstream investment campaigns following the company's landmark acquisition of energy major Shell's Nigerian subsidiary Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria's (SPDC). Attah's participation at AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 is set to highlight Renaissance Africa Energy's transformative role in reshaping Nigeria's upstream sector. With a $15 billion investment plan targeting 32 oil and gas projects over the next five years, Renaissance Africa Energy is rapidly positioning itself as a key driver of indigenous oil and gas development in the Niger Delta region. The company's immediate operational success – exceeding its oil production target by 40% in its first month – underscores its commitment to growth, efficiency and stakeholder collaboration. At AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025, Attah is expected to share insight into this investment strategy. AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit for more information about this exciting event. Renaissance Africa Energy, a consortium comprising ND Western Ltd. Aradel Holdings Plc, FIRST E&P, Waltersmith Group and Petrolin, completed the $1.3 billion acquisition of SPDC's assets in December 2024. The move marked a turning point for local participation in Nigeria's oil industry and reflected the Nigerian government's commitment to empowering indigenous operators through the implementation of the country's Petroleum Industry Act, which improves the sector's fiscal framework, governance and regulatory procedures. The state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. – which retains a 55% stake in the SPDC joint venture with Renaissance Africa Energy – has publicly acknowledged the company's swift progress. The joint venture is expected to play a pivotal role in helping Nigeria meet its national production goals – targeting over two million barrels per day (bpd) by 2025 and three million bpd by 2030. With deep expertise across upstream, midstream and downstream operations, these partners bring a proven track record of performance, community engagement and innovation. Meanwhile, a combined asset base of $3 billion and production rate of 100,000 bpd positions Renaissance Africa Energy to deliver high-impact energy solutions across Nigeria and the continent. Under Attah's leadership, Renaissance Africa Energy operates under four strategic areas of focus: boosting oil production through drilling and rig operations; expanding pipeline and fabrication capacity; growing domestic gas supply; and enhancing gas exports through 22 dedicated projects. Under these pillars, one of the company's core objectives is to double gas output from 150 million to 300 million standard cubic feet per day, which will see support from critical infrastructure such as the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline. 'Tony Attah's leadership at Renaissance Africa Energy is emblematic of the next phase of African energy: bold, locally-led and investment driven. Within weeks of assuming operations, the company exceeded production targets by 40%. This is the kind of leadership and execution Africa's energy future needs,' stated Tomás Gerbasio, VP Commercial and Strategic Engagement, African Energy Chamber.

With plans to increase crude production to 250,000 bpd by 2027, Azule Energy is optimizing production across its existing asset portfolio. The company currently produces 210,000 bpd, and while upcoming projects will boost output, operational assets continue to play a major part in supporting the country's energy goals. Azule Energy has four deepwater FPSOs across its operated blocks, while gas accounts for 20% of its equity hydrocarbon production. The company's portfolio comprises 18 licenses, 11 of which are operated. In 2024, the company also made its foray into the Namibian oil and gas market, finalizing a strategic farm-in deal for Block 2914A in Petroleum Exploration License (PEL) 85. Representing the company's first international acquisition, the deal enables the company to leverage its success in Angola to unlock discoveries in Namibia. For its part, the country is targeting first oil production by 2029 following major discoveries made in the Orange Basin – home of PEL 85. At AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025, Mongini is expected to outline the company's strategic investment agenda, including upcoming projects, future prospects and regional plans. 'Azule Energy's diversified oil and gas portfolio reflects the broader goals of Angola as well as the role international energy companies play in Africa. By balancing offshore oil production with non-associated gas development, the company is supporting the creation of a diversified, strengthened energy system in the country. By taking its expertise to regional markets, Azule Energy is working towards a more resilient energy sector across the wider southern African landscape,' stated Tomás Gerbasio, VP Commercial and Strategic Engagement, African Energy Chamber.
