Luanda - Angola is represented at Ceraweek 2023, in Houston-Texas, USA, one of the largest oil and gas fairs in the world, which runs from 6 to 10 March.
In this forum, Angola is represented by a delegation coordinated by the secretary of State for Oil and Gas, José Barroso, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Agency of Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels (ANPG), Paulino Jerónimo, the Executive Director, Natacha Massano, and other managers.
The conference, according to a note from the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas (MIREMPET), which ANGOP had access to, has the participation of more than seven thousand delegates from 80 different countries.
The fair takes place at a time when the global energy industry is facing uncertainty and change, driven by the effects of the global pandemic, geopolitics and a war involving one of the world's energetic powers.
To José Barroso, “this is an opportunity for Angola to show what is being done, mainly in terms of oil and gas production and exploration, respecting climate issues, thus having the possibility of convincing financial institutions to participate in the effort to develop the Angolan oil industry.
Designing the world's energy systems for a lower carbon future is one of the objectives of the meeting, in addition to the search for solutions, as the industry needs to “navigate” through the turmoil and lead the transition to a sustainable, abundant and affordable future.
The opening ceremony, chaired by the event coordinator, Daniel Yergin, also featured speeches by the executive chairman of Chevron, Mike Worth, the director of Baker Hughes, Lorenzo Simonelli, Petronas, Tengku Muhammad Taufik, among others.
At CERAWeek 2023, top opinion-makers, policy makers, executives from energy, finance, technology and industry will be involved in the conference for dialogue, knowledge sharing and network building.
