By Patience Chat Moses

The African Energy Chamber (AEC) has announced Afentra, a UK-based independent oil and gas company as a bronze sponsor of this year’s African Energy Week (AEW) conference.

This was revealed by AEC through its Executive Secretary (ES), NJ Ayuk, who noted that as Africa’s oil and gas resources assume a pivotal role in the energy transition, collaboration with dedicated sustainable energy champions like Afentra, is imperative for nurturing a responsible transition.

According to him, at AEW, which is taking place from 16–20 October in Cape Town, Afentra representatives, including Ian Cloke, the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), will actively engage in high-level panel discussions, demonstrating the firm’s commitment to advancing the energy transition in Africa adding that Afentra recognizes the strategic importance of developing Africa’s oil and gas resources in a sustainable approach, and will drive such discussions at the Conference.

Ayuk also indicated that Afentra has a vision to become a trusted partner for both international oil companies and host governments, managing acquired assets responsibly and turning them profitable and that “the Company leverages technology to strategically unleash full asset potential while reducing carbon emissions, thereby positioning oil and gas at the forefront of the energy transition.

“The company collaborates closely with African National Oil Companies (NOCs) while forging partnerships with global stakeholders to increase investment in African oil and gas.”

He further stated that “Afentra is actively involved in several projects in Angola and Somaliland.

“As a Bronze Sponsor at AEW 2023, Afentra will have access to the event’s exclusive networking sessions, providing an opportunity for the company’s representatives to engage with African energy policymakers and influential industry stakeholders.

“During these sessions, Afentra will highlight its strategic growth initiatives in Africa and explore potential deals to exploit investment and partnership opportunities within the African energy landscape.

“The global transition towards low-carbon energy sources has amplified the role of companies like Afentra in contributing value to African economies. Given a substantial portion of the African population lacks access to modern and affordable energy, Afentra plays a pivotal role in enhancing resource utilization to ensure long-term energy security. In Africa’s journey towards renewable energy, hydrocarbons will act as a catalyst, and Afentra has emerged as a key enabler in facilitating this transition,” he concluded.

AEW is AEC’s interactive exhibition and networking event that seeks to unite African energy stakeholders, drive industry growth and development, and promote Africa as the destination for African-focused events.
