It is fitting that this year’s World Petroleum Congress, the 18th WPC, is being held in Africa as the continent’s influence on the world’s energy industry has never been greater. And that influence is set to grow as consumers increasingly pin their hopes on Africa as a stable source of energy.

At the tip of the continent, South Africa is an important energy market and a major coal producer and exporter at a global level, having had a decisive influence on the development of synthetic fuel technologies. Algeria, Angola, Libya and Nigeria are already major energy suppliers in world terms, with giant proven oil and natural gas resources. Algeria is the front-runner in North Africa’s burgeoning gas industry with exports at just over 60bn cm/y, but could reach 85bn cm/y by 2010 by expanding the two existing gas pipelines to Nigerian LNG plant Europe and adding new pipeline and LNG production capacity.
