This theme is significant to the development of the abundant oil and gas resources in Africa. Currently more than 70% of Africa’s energy needs come from Oil and Gas. This is due mainly to Its availability in nearly all regions of the African continent. Furthermore, numerous by-products from Oil and Gas like fertilizers, petrochemicals, chemical intermediates, are required for food security, industrialization and economic prosperity. However, the production and utilization of Oil and Gas has led to severe environmental consequences, especially climate change. The competitiveness of Oil and Gas production and utilization will rely mainly on our ability to sequester the GHG emissions, adopt sustainable Oil and Gas production practices, and utilize environmentally friendly oilfield chemicals.
