EnerGeo Alliance Joins Upcoming U.S.-Africa Energy Forum (USAEF) to Boost Upstream Investment Across Africa
The upcoming U.S.-Africa Energy Forum (USAEF) in Houston is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the EnerGeo Alliance, a global trade association for the geoscience and exploration industries. This partnership marks a significant step forward in advancing collaborative energy development between the U.S. and Africa, and in strengthening stakeholder engagement within the natural gas and geoscience sectors.
Under the partnership, EnerGeo Alliance will support USAEF's mission by facilitating direct introductions between EnerGeo's member organizations and USAEF, enabling targeted sponsorship opportunities and fostering deeper industry participation in USAEF's programming and events.
With members active in more than 50 countries – including key African markets such as Namibia, Mozambique, Nigeria, Ghana, Angola and South Africa – EnerGeo Alliance plays a vital role in supporting upstream energy development through advanced geoscience, seismic surveying and data-driven exploration. The partnership with USAEF strengthens the shared mission to connect U.S. and African stakeholders, facilitate energy investment and promote natural gas as a reliable, lower-carbon transition fuel.
'This partnership reflects our commitment to strengthening collaboration between the geoscience community and energy stakeholders across Africa,' said Nikki Martin, President&CEO of EnerGeo Alliance. 'With our members actively engaged in key markets across the continent, we see this as an opportunity to elevate upstream dialogue, support data-driven exploration, and help shape pragmatic solutions to Africa's energy needs.'
EnerGeo Alliance has been especially active in advocating for natural gas as a sustainable and cost-effective solution to meet growing power demand across Africa. In a recent policy brief, the organization spotlighted South Africa's natural gas prospects and emphasized the role of upstream data in de-risking exploration and reducing environmental impacts. Their work complements USAEF's goal of catalyzing partnerships that accelerate infrastructure growth and increase access to reliable energy across the continent.
The partnership is expected to play a pivotal role in USAEF 2025, where EnerGeo Alliance will engage with delegates to spotlight the role of geoscience in upstream investment and showcase how seismic technologies can reduce risk and improve environmental outcomes in natural gas development. By aligning their networks and resources, USAEF and EnerGeo Alliance aim to create new pathways for investment, knowledge exchange and industry growth on both sides of the Atlantic.
'Partnering with EnerGeo Alliance allows USAEF to bridge U.S. technology and expertise with African energy ambitions in a meaningful way. We're not only expanding access to strategic geoscience players, but also enhancing opportunities for investment, sponsorship and long-term collaboration in Africa's gas and energy value chains,' said James Chester, CEO of Energy Capital&Power.

Fitch revises global sovereigns outlook to ‘deteriorating' on tariffs, policy uncertainty
Fitch Ratings has recently revised its 2025 global sovereigns outlook to 'deteriorating' from 'neutral,' reflecting the increase in trade tariffs and policy uncertainty, which are set to weaken the global growth outlook and heighten the risk of more testing financing conditions. In its latest mid-year outlook , the agency said the escalation in the global trade war, uncertainty over the endpoint for tariffs and their impact on global trade volumes, supply chains, investment and international relations is a significant unfavorable global economic shock. In addition, uncertainty over the extent and timing of the effects on prices and activity adds to uncertainty over the path of U.S. Federal Reserve policy rates and the risk of volatility in financing conditions, said Fitch. Public finances to remain under pressure Fitch noted that a fall in Brent crude oil prices to $65 a barrel in 2025 from $79.5 a barrel in 2024 will increase economic and fiscal pressures on major exporters. Cuts to U.S. international aid also add to risks facing some emerging markets. In contrast, a depreciation of the U.S. dollar eases the burden on emerging markets with dollar-denominated debt and gives some emerging-market central banks scope to cut interest rates faster. Amid growing uncertainty, Fitch expects public finances to remain under pressure in 2025 from rising defence spending, interest costs, demographic trends, weak growth and social pressures, particularly in developed markets. 'We expect median government debt/GDP to increase slightly to 54.5 percent at end-2025 from 54.1 percent at end-2024. Geopolitical risks remain high given the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, U.S.-China strategic rivalry, trade tensions, social discontent and the flux in U.S. foreign policy,' the report added. Read: Trump urges Fed to cut rates by 'one full point' following latest CPI data release Global growth to be impacted by increased trade tension Fitch's outlook aligns with the World Bank's latest forecasts for global growth. In its bi-annual Global Economic Prospects report, the World Bank slashed its global growth forecast for 2025 by 0.4 percentage points to 2.3 percent, noting that the global economy is facing a 'substantial headwind', with increased trade tension and heightened policy uncertainty. The bank said global growth is slowing due to a substantial rise in trade barriers and the pervasive effects of an uncertain global policy environment. The forecast marks the slowest rate of global growth since 2008, aside from outright global recessions. By 2027, global gross domestic product growth was expected to average just 2.5 percent, the slowest pace of any decade since the 1960s. Fitch added that rating outlooks are close to balance in mid-2025, with 13 on positive outlook, only slightly more than the 10 on negative outlook. Downgrades since 2020 have created headroom in some ratings to withstand a worsening in credit conditions but policy responses will support ratings in some cases.
