Next Stop Singapore for Equa G Roadshow

Tuesday, August 23, 2016

The roadshow promoting Equatorial Guinea’s licensing round is preparing for its next destination, Singapore. The roadshow will be in Singapore in September promoting available blocks in the West African country.

The visit to Singapore is expected to open opportunities for companies in Southeast Asia and Australia to take part in the round. H.E. Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima, Minister of Mines and Hydrocarbons, said Singapore’s position as a leading energy center in Southeast Asia makes it the ultimate venue for EG Ronda.

“We have considerable admiration for what Singapore has accomplished in becoming an important global energy hub,” said Lima. “It is a model for Equatorial Guinea’s long-term development and a reference point for oil and gas trading in South-East Asia. We look forward to having excellent discussions with organizations in the region.”

During the Singapore visit, Lima will make a keynote presentation during the CWC LNG & Gas Series: 8th Asia Pacific Summit, to be held September 20-23. The conference will bring together key stakeholders in the gas and LNG supply chain. Equatorial Guinea has a large portfolio of gas projects in operation or under development, including EG LNG and the pioneering Fortuna FLNG development which would be the first of its kind in Africa.

The licensing round was launched in June at the Africa Oil & Power conference and will conclude on November 30, 2016.
