“I recommend this event for those understanding the emerging importance of the MSGBC Basin and its ultimate impact on this area of the African continent. Everybody was there and really easy to meet. I'll be there again!”
Robert Taylor
Vice President, IHRDC
“Very good networking opportunity, and also, with the President himself speaking, it underlines the importance of the sector in Senegal's economy going forwards.”
Charlie Youngs
Development Manager, Cairn Energy
“This is one of the best industry conferences I ever have experienced. It was well attended by all senior management of NOC’s, Regulators and IOCs operating in MSGBC. Altogether an extremely useful networking occasion that had very insightful presentations and discussions on the challenges of operating in the Basin. I would recommend all MSGBC players to participate next year’’
Halliburton

The Quest for a Balanced Host Government Contract: an MSGBC Basin Perspective
Local content is increasingly a priority for host States in Africa when negotiating HGCs.
