The MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power conference, West Africa’s premier event focused on advancing the energy sectors of Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea-Conakry, has been rescheduled to 2025. The decision comes in response to the timing of Senegal’s parliamentary elections, set for November 2024, which prompted a reassessment of the event schedule.
Since its inception in 2021, the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power conference has become a crucial platform for industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers. It plays a significant role in shaping the future of West Africa’s energy landscape, facilitating investment, and promoting the development of key energy projects across the region. The event has garnered strong support from key stakeholders, including Senegal’s Ministry of Energy, Petroleum, and Mines, the national oil company Petrosen, the strategic advisory body COS-Petrogaz, and the African Energy Chamber.
The 2025 conference is expected to coincide with a number of notable developments in the region’s energy sector. Among the key highlights is Senegal’s Yakaar-Teranga gas project, which is expected to make its Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2025, with production anticipated to begin between 2028 and 2029. Additionally, the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim conventional gas development, which straddles the maritime border between Senegal and Mauritania, is on track to produce its first gas by the end of the first quarter of 2025.
The conference will also spotlight major projects slated to come online later in the decade, including Mauritania’s BirAllah gas project and The Gambia’s Bambo-1 exploratory well. Furthermore, mining initiatives in Guinea-Bissau, such as the country’s bauxite projects, as well as Guinea-Conakry’s Simandou mining concession, are poised to drive investment and economic growth across the region. These developments underscore the growing potential of the MSGBC basin for local, regional, and international industry players.
The MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power conference has established itself as a key gathering for stakeholders in the energy, mining, and finance sectors. Over its four-year history, it has brought together more than 250 organizations, 50 speakers, and nearly 2,000 delegates from 30 countries. Looking ahead to 2025, the conference will continue to provide a vital platform for networking, knowledge-sharing, and exploring lucrative investment opportunities. With the region’s energy prospects continuing to expand, the event remains a cornerstone of collaboration and strategic partnership for the years to come.
